Join us for a unique service of lessons and carols which opens with Bishop John de Grandisson's service for Christmas.
When Exeter Cathedral was newly completed, John Grandisson, Bishop of Exeter from 1327-1369, inserted into the Christmas liturgy a special ceremony. In 'this most holy night' of Christmas Eve two choristers with lighted tapers emerge from behind the high altar and, with the rest of the choir, announce the birth of our saviour, first in the Quire, then in the Nave. The Good News of the Nativity of Jesus Christ is then proclaimed more fully in readings of scripture, hymns and carols.
