We usually go to church on Christmas morning but there is something magical about midnight mass.
Here's the story behind this beautiful picture: In a long-exposure photo, the interior of Salisbury Cathedral is illuminated by trails of candles carried by choristers during the annual "darkness to light" advent procession in Salisbury, England, on November 25, 2011. The service - which begins with the medieval cathedral in total darkness and silence before the Advent Candle is lit at the West End -is one of the most popular services of the liturgical year. The annual advent service, which takes place over three nights, is a mix of music and readings during which two great candlelit processions move around the different spaces in the 750-year-old building which, by the end, is illuminated by almost 1,300 candles and is a spectacular start to the Christmas season.
I'll
also take this chance to wish you all the best for 2012 - I hope the
new year brings good thing for you. Bury & Discover is going on
holiday and although there may be a few posts in between I will be back
on January 9 with daily posts.
Look after yourselves!
xoxo
