The Roman Church has been singing the "O" Antiphons since at least the eighth century. They are the antiphons that accompany the Magnificat canticle of Evening Prayer from December 17-23. They are a magnificent theology that uses ancient biblical imagery drawn from the messianic hopes of the Old Testament to proclaim the coming Christ as the fulfillment not only of Old Testament hopes but present ones as well. Their repeated use of the imperative "Come!" embodies the longing of all for the Divin

The Great O Antiphons are a series of short verses which count down the days to Christmas Eve. Sung at the beginning and end of the Magnificat during Evensong, each antiphon begins with a different name for Jesus. They draw on Scripture to help us learn about who Jesus will be, as predicted by the prophets. Here at Westminster Abbey, these antiphons are sung at Evensong from 16 to 23 December. As we approach Christmas Eve, we'll be sharing a recording of the verses with you on the appointed day

The O Antiphons are ancient chants sung or recited during the service of Evening Prayer from December 17 to 23, leading up to Christmas Day. They are short prayers that come before or after the Magnificat and are part of the liturgy during Advent. These antiphons look back through the history of salvation and cry out for the long-expected Messiah.

The "O" Antiphons express the Church's deep longing for the coming of Jesus Christ our Savior. Beginning on Dec 17th and continuing until Christmas, an antiphon is sung at Evening Prayer which calls on the Lord under a significant title from the Scriptures. These prayers are also featured in the song "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" which likewise expresses our deep desire for Christ to come. Please join us this year as we meditate each day on the "O" Antiphon and join in the yearning of all creation
