Ready for the family's return from Pluscarden Abbey's Christmas Eve service

Christmas Eve Solemn Vigils are sung by the Benedictine monks at Pluscarden Abbey on Christmas Eve, one of the few places in Britain, where you can still hear Gregorian Chant.
Pluscarden Abbey is the home of a community of Roman Catholic Benedictine monks. It is the only medieval monastery in Britain still inhabited by monks and being used for its original purpose. Situated six miles south-west of Elgin in Moray, the monastery enjoys the peace and stillness of a secluded glen, but is easily reached by road from the town. The atmosphere of quiet reflection and of work dedicated to the glory of God is the same now as it was in the thirteenth century, when a community of monks first came to this part of Moray. If you visit the Abbey today, you can enjoy not only the beauty of its architecture and its setting but also something of the restful atmosphere of devotion that has so deeply permeated this little corner of Scotland.
In terms of Pluscarden, I share a Muslim friend's view, who attends the Choral evensong at Wells Cathedral, on the basis that it is an awe-inspiring atmosphere, rather than a matter of belief or faith...
