Low Sunday


Lent: The 40-day period of fasting, sobriety and meditation following Ash Wednesday, recalling the period of Christ's fasting and meditation in the wilderness, and in penitence and preparation for Holy Week (BCP pp. 264-65). The term is derived from an old word for "lengthen," which referred to the lengthening days of early spring.

Lessons and Carols: The Festival of Lessons and Carols is a Cambridge University tradition and consists of bible lessons telling the prophecies and birth of Jesus, interspersed with Advent music. It is an early December highlight.

Low Sunday: The Sunday that follows Easter Day.
