Cathedral Church of St. Paul, 138 Tremont Street
Cost: Free Will Offering

Advent is not a countdown to Christmas, but rather a season of waiting. Come with us as we move from waiting for the birth of Jesus to welcoming it. The event begins with the singing of "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" paired with new "O" antiphons written by poet Carole-Jean Smith with chants adapted from Hildegard. Then the play "The Young Shepherds' Tale" will burst on the scene with the appearance of a "lost", cheeky lamb trying to outsmart the shepherds. We will hear from shepherds and angels all while singing carols to propel the Christmas story forward.
Works by "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel", New "O" antiphons by Carole-Jean Smith with chants adapted from Hildegard. Music for "The Young Shepherds' Tale" by Louise Mundinger
