Advent Lessons and Carols is a musical service of stillness and transcendence as we prepare for Christ's coming into the world. We read prophetic passages of scripture, hear stirring carols from the choir, and sing beloved Advent hymns as the Cathedral is gradually brought from darkness into light. Advent Lessons and Carols one of our most dramatic and evocative liturgies of the year - the perfect way to begin the season of Advent.
A festive reception follows in Kyle’s Place.
