Service of Lessons and Carols

A Service of Lessons and Carols is a traditional Christian worship event that combines scripture readings (lessons) with hymns and carols. It typically features a series of Bible passages recounting the story of Jesus’ birth, interwoven with singing of Christmas songs. The purpose is to reflect on the significance of Christ’s arrival, creating a meaningful and festive atmosphere. Often held during the Christmas season, it emphasizes both storytelling and musical worship, fostering community and spiritual contemplation in a ceremonial setting.
