A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols

Occurring
for 1 hour, 15 mins
Venue
Helsinki Cathedral / Helsingin tuomiokirkko
Address
Helsinki Cathedral / Helsingin tuomiokirkko, Unioninkatu 29, Helsinki, 00170, Finland

Join us with family and friends for a festive evening of traditional English carols, anthems, and readings at Helsinki Cathedral.
The format of this service is based on an order drawn up by Edward Benson, later Archbishop of Canterbury but at that time Bishop of Truro, for use on Christmas Eve (24th December) 1880. Tradition says that he organized a 10 p.m. service in a wooden shed which then served as his cathedral in Truro and that the purpose of the service was to keep men out of the pubs!
The original liturgy has since been adapted and used by other churches all over the world. Numerous Christian denominations have adopted this service, or a variation of this service, as part of their Christmas celebrations. In Finland, this would be 'Kauneimmat joululaulut'.
The best-known version, of course, is the annual broadcast from King's College, Cambridge! Our service follows that same order which can also be found in Common Worship: Times and Seasons of the Church of England. The tradition of this Festival in Helsinki by the Anglican Church in Finland dates back, at least, to the 1960s.
Doors to the cathedral will open at 6.15pm.
The service is led by The Rev'd Maria Obafemi-Onuigbo, Chaplain at St Nicholas' Anglican Church in Helsinki
The Service is sung by St Nicholas Chamber Choir & the Children's Choir of the International School of Music
The Choir is conducted by Erik Johannes Riekko
The organ is played by Kadri Toomoja
