The annual service of Nine Lessons and Carols has become one of our great Christmas traditions.
Its origins lie in the 1880s, but it came to prominence in 1918 when the Dean of King's College, Cambridge, Eric Milner-White, put together a service of lessons and carols to lift the spirits of the college following the dark and harrowing years of the First World War.
St Nicholas' annual carol service follows Milner-White's traditional format. Through the singing of joyful carols and the timeless words of sacred scripture, the service recounts the wondrous story of the birth of our Lord.
