クリスマスも間近にせまり、キリスト教の国マルタは、あちこちの教会で、クリスマス・イベントが行われています。近くにある、英国国教会のクリスマス・キャロルに行ってきました。教会の建物は音響も良く、パイプオルガンと聖歌隊の響きが、クリスマスの雰囲気を存分に出していました。この「キングス・カレッジ・ケンブリッジの、９つのレッスンとキャロル」は、１９１８年のクリスマス・イブに初めて行われ、その後各地に広がり、今では世界中で行われています。オープニングの聖歌は、１９１９年に内容の再構成をしてからずっと「Once in Royal David's City」です。
Christmas is coming soon. In Malta, well-known Christian country, many churches have Christmas events here and there. I went to the Anglican Church nearby to enjoy their Christmas Carol service. The church building had very good acoustic effects, exalting Christmas feelings. "A Service of Nine Lessons and Carols at Kings College Cambridge" was first held on Christmas Eve 1918 and kept growing worldwide. It has always begun with the hymn "Once in Royal David's City" since rearrangement of the lessons in 1919.
