Raymond de Souza: Even war could not forestall this annual Christmas gift to the world

Broadcast on the BBC, 100 million people around the world listen to King's College's Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols

Which reads in part:
On Christmas Eve in Cambridge, the choir of King’s College leads the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols. The magnificence of the chapel itself, the setting for the finest of the English choral tradition of sacred music, makes the annual service one of the great cultural achievements of Christian Europe. Christmas Eve at King’s holds a high place in the cultural patrimony of the entire English-speaking peoples.

"I was gathered into the offering of the Son to the Father. I participated in the self-offering of God today."

FEATURED SCRIPTURE | 1 John 1:1-4

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon and touched with our hands, concerning the word of life— the life was made manifest, and we saw it, and testify to it, and proclaim to you the eternal life which was with the Father and was made manifest to us—that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. And we are writing this that our joy may be complete.
