Virtual Nine Lessons and Carols 2020




I thought, given the circumstances, it might be good to try again an experiment that I made a few years ago and blog a virtual celebration of Nine Lessons and Carols.

Please do click on the links in sequence to get the full intended affect. You might also like to listen by candlelight as well and, if you like, sing along with the carols. If you do find this in any way complementary to your experience of the season, please have a mince pie and a cup of mulled wine on my behalf after the benediction.
