Each year, the Office of the Chaplain and Religious and Spiritual Life invites the Harvard Divinity School community to Seasons of Light.

As the nights grow longer and the days shorter, this annual multireligious service honors the interplay of holy darkness and light in the world’s religious traditions, including choral and instrumental music, readings by HDS students, the ritual kindling of many flames, and communal prayers and songs.
