| Christmas tradition of the 17th century, which started at St Mary’s church at Lübeck town, under the initiative of organist and composer Dieterich Buxtehude, relives for the second time this year at the historical venue of St Paul’s Anglican Church at Syntagma. In three Christmas concerts which will take place on Friday 18th (one concert) and Monday 21st (two concerts), embracing the greatest night of the year, we open the doors to Light and we invite people to pray, sing, feel emotional, rejoice, forgive, love again, get prepared for the Christmas celebration. |
