It was a beautiful end to our 24 days
of festivities, at 6:15pm precisely the doors to All Saints Church
opened to the awaiting crowds and they entered to the strains of
“Away in a Manger”.
Candlelight carols under the
Christmas Tree with the Choir of All Saints Wokingham
The Choir of All Saints, Wokingham,
is one of the finest in the region. In addition to its regular
duties at the church on Sundays and at important civic and church
events, it sings at major cathedrals across the country and churches
all over Berkshire. They will be opening the final door of the
Wokingham Living Advent Calendar with a traditional Nine Lessons and
Carols – in miniature!
Around 100 people enjoyed a series of
traditional carols sung with great skill and a number of readings
retelling the birth of Christ. There was a magical air inside the
church with candles and the Christmas tree aglow which only added to
the spirit of the occasion.
The performance ended with the always
fun “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” and a short speech by
Wokingham Town Mayor Cllr Peter Lucey.
Please enjoy the video below, covering
the last two carols a stirring rendition of “O Come all Ye
Faithful” and “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”
