Lessons and Carols from King’s Broadcast to be Prerecorded Amy Spagna The service has been broadcast live from a packed chapel on Christmas Eve for over 90 years, but for safety reasons it had previously been decided that no congregation could be present this year. In the face of Covid-19, King’s also decided to make a recording of the service a few weeks before Christmas as an additional precaution. In the light of current conditions, it is this recording of 2020’s A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols that will be broadcast at the usual time on 24 December. “Sad though we are not to be together in the Chapel for the service on Christmas Eve, we are delighted that we will be able to share our Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols this year. The amount of travel involved in gathering the choir and crew from around the country for the service, and the possible risks of infection at a time when the statistics are getting worse, made this the responsible, safer and more prudent option.” – Revd Dr Stephen Cherry, Dean of King’s College
