Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols

Past event
Dec 21, 2023, 7 to 8 PM

The choir of Christ Episcopal Church and guest singers are proud to announce our annual Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, a Christian service of Scripture readings and music, on Thursday, December 21st at 7 pm. This traditional service is built around nine readings from the Old and New Testament, outlining the story of the birth of Jesus, and interspersed with choral anthems and congregational carols. The service was conceived and developed in the UK in the 19th century, and continues annually to this day. The choir of King's College in Cambridge has broadcast the service to millions around the world every year on Christmas Eve, including in our area annually on Vermont Public at 10 am. The service is followed by a reception. The service is free, but donations are gratefully accepted, including canned goods for our Food Pantry. Mask-wearing is respected and welcome, but not required; there will be air purifiers running at all times. Please join us for this beautiful and simple service!
