Compline for Candlemas
Experience Candlemas with a special Compline, sung by candlelight, in St Michael and All Saints on Sunday 2nd February!
About Compline for Candlemas
Bathe yourself in candlelight and exquisite choral music at this service of Compline, the final prayer of the monastic “hours.” But there’s no need to visit a monastery — just come to Tollcross.
This atmospheric moment at the end of the day weaves together ancient songs and meditative prayer.
As the Christmas season draws to a close, the church’s celebration of the Feast of Candlemas reflects on themes of light and hope. A tranquil space for contemplation at nightfall in one of Edinburgh’s architectural gems.
