Lessons and Carols

for 1 hour
St Albans Cathedral
Sumpter Yard, St Albans, AL1 1BY, United Kingdom
A true staple of the Cathedral’s Christmas programme.

Lessons and Carols is an incredibly atmospheric and beautiful service, which is hugely popular. It opens with the choir singing Silent Night, as candlelight begins to spill through the cathedral. The service continues with a pattern of lessons interspersed with popular carols and famously adored Christmas motets, performed by the choir. Both evenings are performed by the Boys, Girls and Lay Clerks of St Albans Cathedral Choir.

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
