for Advent from Trinity College, Cambridge
Advent Sunday: when the church begins its preparation for the coming of the Lord. Pauline Webb begins a four-part journey which takes her to Canada, Zimbabwe and Scotland to ask what the coming of Christ means in each place. Her journey begins in Trinity College, Cambridge. Staff and students gather in the darkness for their traditional
Advent carol service, to await the lighting of the Advent candle - a symbol of Christ, the Light of the World.
