There is nothing more uplifting and humbling than experiencing the sounds of traditional Christmas hymns in their purest form. This Christmas book tickets to the Midnight Mass at stunning St Paul 's Cathedral. The ceremony, which occurs every year on Christmas Eve at 11.30pm, carries its audiences into Christmas Day and is the perfect way to celebrate the festive period. LondonTown.com, the London hotels and entertainment experts, advise those want to experience the event to book soon.
“Sir Christopher's Wren's magnificent St Paul's Cathedral is lauded as the spiritual home of Great Britain . There is nothing more wonderful than spending Christmas Eve in such an amazing venue and experiencing the St Paul 's choir's astonishing vocal talent. It is truly breathtaking. A number of festive celebrations are being held at St Paul's this December, so for those coming outside the capital looking to make a short trip out of it, we advise you book London hotels now as they're filling up.”
Midnight Mass sees the choir at St Paul 's Cathedral joined by the Barbican Brass to mark the first Eucharist of Christmas. Due to the high demand and number of people eager to experience the choir, St Paul's holds a selection of festive events in the run up to Midnight Mass. These include; Santka Luca, Ceremony of Carols by Benjamin Britten, Family Carols, La Nativite du Seigneur by Olivier Messiaen and a Christmas Carol Service on the 23 rd December.
What makes Midnight Mass so special is the atmosphere generated by the choir and cathedral alike. The cathedral's famous dome, which peaks over the top of London 's impressive skyline from miles around, fills with the beautiful sounds of the choir. Truly majestic, spine tingling and humbling, experience all the traditional Christmas hymns by candlelight. The perfect place to usher in Christmas Day, wrap up warm against the cold and take the magic of Christmas away with you.
