Having started with a beautiful and reflective Advent Procession; a sold-out concert with the Black Dyke Band; and an exciting collaboration with the Royal Opera House, Bradford Cathedral’s Advent and Christmas season continues with more services and events up to, and including, Christmas Day.
On Saturday 23rd December, Bradford Cathedral will hold ‘An International Christmas’. All are welcome to this informal Christmas service featuring music and readings from Christians from Ukraine, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Pakistan, India, Sudan, Hong Kong and other communities based in- and around- Bradford.
The free service, which begins at 6pm, will conclude with light refreshments including food from some of these cultural traditions.
The Revd Ned Lunn, Canon for Intercultural Mission and the Arts, says:
“Jesus Christ came to bring good news to all peoples and nations; to all cultures and languages. We remind ourselves each year that the angels announced his birth with a joyful song heralding peace to all humankind and this year particularly we're inviting all to join that song as we weave this good news into the rich fabric of our city.
“With as many different tongues from our diverse Christian community across the district we will proclaim the unique message of Christmas for our city and beyond. We invite you to come and join the song.”
