From St. Martin's-in-the-Bull Ring, Birmingham.
Christmas Eve in the Bull Ring at Birmingham takes us into the life of both the market place and the parish church.
For nearly eight hundred years the markets of Birmingham have plied their trade in this place and throughout that time St. Martin's church has stood in the centre, linking its ministry closely with the life of the city. Passing through the Bull Ring tonight, viewers join the congregation in the church as they greet the arrival of another Christmas Day in a celebration of Holy Communion.
