Carol of nine lesson:

The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols is a service of Christian worship celebrating the birth of Jesus that is traditionally followed at Christmas. The story of the fall of humanity, the promise of the Messiah, and the birth of Jesus is
told in nine short Bible readings from Genesis, the prophetic books and the Gospels, interspersed with the singing of
Christmas carols , hymns and choir
music.

History:

In 1878 the Royal Cornwall Gazette reported that the choir of Truro Cathedral would sing a service of carols at 10:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve. Two years later, Edward Benson , later Archbishop of Canterbury but at that time Bishop of Truro , in Cornwall,
formalised the service with Nine Lessons for use on Christmas Eve (24 December) 1880. The first service took place at 10:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve in the temporary wooden structure serving as his cathedral whilst the new cathedral was being built. Over 400 people attended this first service. There is an oft-repeated myth that the purpose of the service was to keep men out of the pubs.
The service has subsequently been in continuous use (with modifications) in Truro since 1880, and followed Bishop Benson in his new appointment as Archbishop of Canterbury in 1883. In December 2013 Truro Cathedral staged a reconstruction of Bishop Benson's original 1880 Nine Lessons with Carols Service which was attended by an audience of over 1,500 people. The original liturgy has since been adapted and used by other churches all
over the world. Lessons and Carols most often occur in Catholic and Anglican churches.
However, numerous Christian
denominations have adopted this service, or a variation on this service, as part of their Christmas celebrations. In the UK, the service has become the standard
format for schools' Christmas carol
services. The best-known version is broadcast annually from King's College, Cambridge , on Christmas Eve. It features carols sung
by the famous Choir of King's College. Groton School of Groton, Massachusetts, has performed the festival longer than any institution other than King's, holding its first Lessons and Carols in 1928.
