chilly silent night
warmed by flickering candlelight
and the choir singing
medieval madrigals
pure beauty sets fire to souls
Kim M. Russell, 2016

In this episode of Seven Days Before Christmas, Chèvrefeuille has taken the title of a classic Christmas, ‘Silent Night’ as the theme of our prompt.

Thank you! ‘Gaudete’ was the first song on Saturday and was followed by more unusual songs. It was a wonderful evening.
