The 9 lessons and Carols date back to 1880, where a bishop opened a special Christmas Eve service in a wood shed that he used has his cathedral in Truro, now present day Cornwall,Almost 40 years later, in 1918, King's College in Cambridge carried on the tradition, and has held the special Christmas Eve since. The services always began with “Once in David’s Royal City”, the Carol we will be singing today, followed by 9 carols along with scripture readings to help tell the story of God’s redemptive history, leading to the baby in the manger.In 1928, BBC began to broadcast the service over the radio, and, in 2022, YOU have the unique opportunity to hear this special service via our podcast!We hope you find this edifying this Advent season!
