Christmas Festival of Lessons and Carols
The following bidding and lessons may be used at a festival during the Twelve Days of Christmas.
If the festival takes place in the evening, it may be introduced by the Service of Light (Prayer Book, page 109). The seasonal Lucernarium (page 12) or Psalm 113 may be sung during the candle lighting. After the Phos hilaron or the hymn sung in place of it, the service continues with the Bidding Prayer.
