Each year around this season, Walt Disney’s original Magic Kingdom in Anaheim California– plays home to the CandleLight Ceremony and Processional, a 45-minute musical tribute to the New Testament story of Jesus Christ’s birth, and without a doubt the most outwardly religious event hosted at Disneyland each December.

This year the Disneyland Symphony Orchestra, fanfare trumpets, hand bell ringers, and approximately 550 choir members were joined by “Thor: Ragnarok” star Chris Hemsworth, who narrated the tale of the Nativity in between moving renditions of a variety of Christmas songs.
