Choral Evensong
Posted on October 7th, 2011, written by Webmaster | 0 CommentsThe tradition of daily morning and evening prayer is one inherited from the Jewish tradition of both Temple and Synagogue, with which Jesus himself was familiar. By the fifth century this had been adopted in a modified and extended form, by communities of monks and nuns, as well as by the bishops and clergy of cathedrals.
The canons of Lincoln celebrate morning and evening prayer daily, continuing this long tradition. Morning prayer is recited at St Hugh’s Shrine at 7.30 am, and Evensong is sung in St Hugh’s Choir at 5.30 pm, except when there is no choir, when it is recited in St Hugh’s Shrine.
