Marsh Chapel’s 50th Annual Service of Christmas Lessons and Carols, was celebrated Friday, December 8th, 2023 at 6:00 p.m and again on Sunday, December 10th, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. The liturgy for Lessons & Carols, one of BU’s most popular annual events, is inspired by the century-old iconic Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols at King’s College, Cambridge. Music was provided by the Marsh Chapel Choir, the Boston University School of Theology’s Seminary Singers, the Inner Strength Gospel Choir, and the Majestic Brass Quintet. Each year, the event is offered, free of charge, as a gift to our communities. We hope you enjoy!

This Service of Christmas Lessons and Carols is compiled from the rich and extensive archive of broadcast recordings from Marsh Chapel Sundays in recent years. We very much regret that live worship is not possible during this time, most particularly during this Advent and Christmas season.
