ST. THOMAS - The sound of voices in harmony floated across Emancipation Garden on Saturday morning as carolers took part in a Virgin Islands Christmas tradition that started 34 years ago as a progression of caroling traditions of yore.
One by one, choirs took the stage in the center of the park while people sang along in the early morning light.
Christmas lights sparkled before dawn as the show opened and the Voices of Love presented echo caroling from the Liberty Bell to Monsanto Bandstand.
Several groups and individuals were honored during the event. The Ulla Muller Elementary School Choir was presented with the Esther Marks Award. Francis Callwood, a choir director at Charlotte Amalie High School, was presented with the Esther Marks Award for his work passing on traditional music.
Luther Robles received the Hapless/Hopeless Award. We From Upstreet was presented with the Governor's Award and Néomie Toussaint-Williams was named Honorable Choirs Conductor.
