2011 Triumph of the Cross CD

Sacred music is an essential part of the liturgical services held at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, especially during our celebration of Easter, when music speaks directly to our souls and hearts, filling us with the joy of the Resurrection of Our Lord. Until now, this music could only be heard by those who visit the Shrine during the Easter Season. But with the music of the 2011 Triumph of the Cross CD, you can experience the beautiful sounds of Easter from the world-renowned Choir of the Basilica of the National Shrine.
