"Christmas" is a winter-solstice holiday of the Christian religion that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, the founder of Christianity. Join the Bike Temple as we endeavor to learn more about Christianity by attending the Christmas-Eve services of two major Christian denominations in Portland.Services include singing, organ music, sermons, bells, incense, pagentry, and other fun stuff that teach you more about the Christian religion and keep you entertained.
Come learn more about the religions of Portland on our first annual "Joy of Sects on Christmas" ride.
We'll have two special guests -- the Reverend Jason and Sister Yumi from the Bike Church in Davis, CA. Sister Yumi is the daughter of a former nun, and the Reverend Jason is a former Southern Baptist, they can answer questions about various Christian denominations, including Catholicism.
