Event Description:

The 110th Annual Christmas Carol Services will be held in the Memorial
Church Sanctuary on Sunday, Dec. 8 at 5 p.m., and on Tuesday, Dec. 10
at 8 p.m. Doors open one hour before each service. Admission is free;
an offering for charity is collected. The Annual Christmas Carol
Service, sung by the Harvard University Choir, is America's oldest
carol service. In 1910, the newly appointed University and
Choirmaster, Archibald T. Davison, and Plummer Professor of Christian
Morals, Edward C. Moore, devised the first annual Christmas Carol
Service for Harvard University. The liturgy they prepared has remained
virtually unchanged since: three lessons from scripture, interspersed
with choral and congregational carols, beginning with "Adeste,
fideles" sung in Latin. Over a century later, this service continues
to be a cherished part of the festive season for the Harvard and
Cambridge communities.
