Lamp­light ser­vice at the Old North Church after restora­tion in the 1950’s-60’s

Dur­ing 1957 the Old North Church became active once more as sum­mer evening lamp­light ser­vices com­menced and have con­tin­ued once a month. They fea­ture a hymn sing, as min­is­ters and choirs rep­re­sent­ing sev­er­al area denom­i­na­tions take turns each month. The ser­vices, held only dur­ing ‘warm’ months, proved pop­u­lar, espe­cial­ly those held dur­ing fall foliage when some six­ty voic­es sang from the gallery and over three hun­dred peo­ple crowd­ed the pews. Wor­shipers came from many sur­round­ing towns and up to eigh­teen or more states have been rep­re­sent­ed. The church is also the scene of many weddings.
