Historic Trinity Lutheran - Trinity Lutheran Church congregation was founded in 1850 following a large influx of German immigrants who settled along the Gratiot corridor. In 1931, the present architecturally excellent church facility was built with only the finest materials and craftsmanship. Christmas time at Historic Trinity is like no other: 260+ Creches from around the world, 90+ Nutcrackers on display in the Dau Library, a multitude of Angels and many beautifully decorated Christmas trees. In the Sanctuary you will find their oldest and largest hand painted Nativity. This Nativity has adorned our Sanctuary since the late 1800’s. You also won’t be able to miss their 22 foot Christmas tree alit with 18,185 Christmas lights! 

Amore de Roma Café (included lunch) - Detroit’s oldest restaurant has been serving classic Italian cuisine since 1890. Continuing the tradition is third generation owner Janet Sossi Belcoure whose frequent tasting trips to Italy are reflected in the menu’s signature veal and pasta delicacies, prepared with the freshest ingredients hand selected from nearby Eastern Market. 

First Congregational Church of Detroit (Guided Tour) - Built in 1891 at the peak of the Victorian era, the architect John Faxon traveled to Europe and patterned the building after churches found in Venice and Ravenna. 

Shatila (included dessert) - Founded in 1979 by Riad Shatila, bakers labor lovingly as did old world artisans thousands of years ago in the Middle East. Tissue-thin pastry swabbed with rich, pure butter, enfolds crunchy fresh nuts and a sweet sugar syrup. Authentic, old world baking in modern, high volume ovens.
