Midnight Mass...

I wanted to take a few photos from this evening's celebrations... but just a very few... Obviously, it being Christmas, I wanted to share!

Before the Carol Service started, I took a photo of the church, as seen from the back.

I took a couple of photos of the Crib, before the baby was laid in the manger (obviously)...

...and then a close-up once the Christ-child made his appearance!

I managed to get a shot of the Blessing of the Crib at the start of Mass, but only from a distance... The zoom on my camera works pretty well, provided I keep it still!

Fr. Tim gave an excellent sermon...

We had a full complement of servers on the Sanctuary, plus a few extra...

And, finally, my favourite moments...

I know that we're very privileged to have Midnight Mass in the Extraordinary Form (actually at midnight, too.) I hope that the rest of you enjoy your Christmas Masses as much as I did...
