Marsh Chapel’s 48th Service of Lessons & Carols

This year, on Friday, December 10, and Sunday, December 12, another revered and much-anticipated annual University tradition was held in person: Marsh Chapel’s 48th Service of Lessons & Carols. The liturgy, based on the Cambridge University King’s College iconic century-old Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, included a selection of Christmas carols, motets, and anthems with brass, organ, and timpani.
