Project Noel

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nine Lessons and Carols, also known as the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols and Service of Nine Lessons and Carols, is a service of worship traditionally celebrated on or near Christmas Eve.


It's the story of the fall of humanity, the promise of the Messiah, and the birth of Jesus is told in nine short Bible readings or lessons from Genesis, the prophetic books and the Gospels, interspersed with the singing of Christmas carols, hymns and choir anthems.

It is organised by the RSA in Liverpool and the service is held in the church of Our Lady and Saint Nicholas, the Liverpool Parish Church.
