The Derby Cathedral Tree of Light spreads the glow of love and kindness this Christmas

Written on 23/11/2022

Spread the glow of love and kindness this Christmas by writing a message to be displayed on Derby’s beautiful Tree of Light!

At this time of year, it is wonderful to see people and communities come together to celebrate Christmas. The Derby Cathedral Tree of Light will be displayed inside the Cathedral and visitors are very welcome to come in, write a message and see the tree in place from 3rd December to 6th January.

Everyone is welcomed to take some time away from the hustle and bustle at this time of year and enjoy the peace and quiet of the Cathedral building for reflection, sanctuary and light. Messages could be in remembrance of a loved one, a Christmas greeting or a prayer.

To help support the care and work of the Cathedral, people are invited to make a suggested donation of £3 for a message, keeping the doors open for welcome and warmth for all communities.

The Dean of Derby, The Very Revd Peter Robinson says: “At this special time of year, we invite the communities of Derby and Derbyshire to come and enjoy their Cathedral and the sparkling Tree of Light.  Christmas is a wonderful time to reflect and come together to spread a glow of kindness. All are very welcome to share their messages.”

Messages and donations are also being taken online via our website, here you can write your message to be attached to the tree and make a donation.
