Trinity Choristers Festival of Advent Lessons and Carols

Trinity Choristers will offer a Festival of Advent Lessons and Carols. This particular Festival model was developed at Salisbury Cathedral and St. James Cathedral in Chicago. The scripture passages provided serve as foils to one another – parallels from the Old and New Testaments, prophesy and fulfillment. Each scripture is preceded by an “O Antiphon”, and is followed by a Carol reflection, sung by the Choristers. The O Antiphons are Magnificat antiphons used at Vespers on the last seven days of Advent. Used since the early days of the church, they are referred to as “O Antiphons” because each begins with the interjection “O”. Each antiphon is a name of Christ. We hope you will join us for this beautiful and meaningful service.
