Salisbury Cathedral Choristers Prepare For Christmas Services

SALISBURY, ENGLAND - DECEMBER 22: Choristers from the Salisbury Cathedral Choir have their final practice ahead of the services that will be held in the cathedral marking Christmas on December 22, 2017 in Salisbury, England. The choir of boys and girls aged between 7-13 will sing in 8 big services over the next four days including Carols by Candlelight, a family nativity, Christmas Day Service and a midnight mass and will be heard by nearly 10,000 people. Christmas has been celebrated in the cathedral for over 750 years since it was dedicated in 1258. It is thought that the foundation of the choir stretches back even further, with evidence of a song school in Salisbury as early as the 11th century. (Photo by Matt Cardy/Getty Images)
