Advent Lessons and Carols
Held Sunday, December 7, 2008
The very first Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols was held on Christmas Eve 1918 at King’s College Chapel (Cambridge). The service was planned by Eric Milner-White, who at the age of thirty-four had just been appointed Dean of King’s College. After his service as an army chaplain, he decided that the Church of England needed “more imaginative worship”. And thus began the yearly tradition of re-telling the story of our redemption – from prophecy to fulfillment – through Holy Scripture and music. St. Peter’s continued this wonderful Anglican tradition on Sunday, December 7, 2008.
