Lessons & Carols

4pm December 22nd

St Nicholas

This traditional service is based on The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, first held at Kings College, Cambridge on Christmas Eve 1918.  It is a service of Christian worship celebrating the birth of Jesus that is traditionally followed at Christmas.  The story of the fall of humanity, the promise of the Messiah, and the birth of Jesus is told in nine short Bible readings from Genesis, the prophetic books and the Gospels, interspersed with the singing of Christmas carols, hymns and choir music.
