Christmas tree, Canterbury Cathedral, 24 January 2026

One of two Christmas trees in Canterbury Cathedral, Kent, 24 January 2026.  A notice nearby explains:

‘We keep the Christmas trees in the Quire until Candlemas (The Presentation of Christ in the Temple) on 2 February, because the celebrations that start with the birth of Jesus continue through the season of Epiphany ending on the Feast of Candlemas.’
