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 know your works; you have the name of being alive, and you are dead. Awake, and strengthen what remains and is on the point of death, for I have not found your works perfect in the sight of my God.
