Advent Procession

for 1 hour
St Albans Cathedral
Sumpter Yard, St Albans, AL1 1BY, United Kingdom
A beautiful candlelit service combining readings and music which marks the start of the season of Advent. Everyone is given a candle to symbolise the first Sunday in Advent and the first Advent candle being lit. The service sees the Cathedral Choir start in the Quire, and slowly progress to the West End in the Nave, and finally to the Nave altar. This special tradition allows the congregation to experience the Choir's music from different parts of the Cathedral, creating an exceptional atmosphere. All are welcome.

St Albans Cathedral

St Albans Cathedral is the oldest site of continuous Christian worship in Britain and stands over the place where Alban, Britain's first saint, was buried after giving his life for his faith over 1700 years ago. Down the centuries, countless pilgrims have come to honour the saint’s sacrifice and offer their prayers at his shrine – and they still come in their thousands today.

St Albans Cathedral is open, we look forward to welcoming you very soon. Please visit our website for more information: www.stalbanscathedral.org
