Compline for Candlemas - and other times...



Night Prayer - the Office of Compline - in its traditional form. First live-streamed on the Feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple, but a service which can be prayed any day. It's when Simeon recognises the light of God in Christ that he speaks the words which we use now as a much-loved canticle (song), the Nunc Dimittis - a centrepiece in this service.
