A program for Handel's Messiah, Part 1, rests on the back of a church pew in Beaulieu Abbey, The New Forest, Hampshire England. A glass of red wine sits in the hymnal holder. In the far background is a large cross. December 23, 2023.

We had the great privilege to attend a performance of #HandelsMessiah, Part 1 (Includes the #HallelujahChorus)
last #Christmas. It was magical to hear it performed in this historic place.
(With a glass of #wine a and mini #Mincemeat pie 🙂)
