Join Great St Mary’s for an evening of music and activities, as we are invited by one of Cambridge’s world class choirs to watch them rehearse for a service of Compline (night prayer).
Prior to the rehearsal, from 6pm you can explore how the cycle of the moon shapes the calendars of the three Abrahamic faiths – Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. See how the dates of Easter, Ramadan, and Hanukkah depend on the stage of the moon, and consider how people pray at different times of day and night.
There will be twilight-themed crafts so you can use your creativity to celebrate everything that lights up our nights, from the moon and candles to nocturnal animals.
The event is open for drop-ins, dependent on capacity, but please book in advance if possible – details on the University of Cambridge Museums website.
This event is part of Twilight at the Museums, organised by the University of Cambridge Museums.
