Chaldean Christmas
201 E. Main Street, El Cajon, 92020
Singing carols in the language Jesus spoke? “Christmas on Prescott” promises the nearest thing. It is being organized by El Cajon’s 40,000-strong Christian Chaldean community. They’ll be celebrating the season with carols in Aramaic — Jesus language — Arabic, and English. They’ll also put on skits and bring out Santa Claus, plus face-painting and balloons.
Be sure to ask for only-at-Christmastime koleicha cakes. They’re filled with walnuts, dates, mysterious spices. Tradition-minded Chaldeans fast before Christmas, so these little cakes are the scrumptious fast-breakers.
All welcome.
