Advent Festival of Lessons and Music
A service held during the pre-Christmas Advent season in which the reading of the scriptural history of salvation from the creation to the coming of Christ is interspersed with the singing of the great music of the season, including but not limited to carols. A traditional form of service is included in the BOS. The most popular forms of service are those based loosely on that used on Christmas Eve at King's College, Cambridge.
