Join York Minster’s worship to mark the start of Advent with an atmospheric and breath-taking candlelit service of music, readings and prayers, in celebration and anticipation of the birth of Jesus Christ, the Light of the World.
The service, which will include music from the Choir of York Minster, starts in darkness before a single flame is used to spread light through the cathedral, with candles held by each member of the congregation.
The service will also be livestreamed via our YouTube channel and this page so you can enjoy the service from the comfort of your own home.
