Christmas Eve in Abingdon: Bells, Christingles, and Candlelight


The bells are ringing calling people to the midnight service at St Helen’s Church. Earlier I looked in and saw all the Christingles ready for the 4 pm Christingle Service at St Helen’s.

At Trinity Church, there was also a Christingle Service at 4 pm. After carols and the telling of Jesus’ birth, children and adults made their own Christingles with the help of a large Christingle at the front.

The Christingle candles were lit, and everybody sang Away in a Manger.

The last candle on the advent crown will be lit tomorrow on Christmas Day Morning.

Wishing you a Happy Christmas!
