As we begin the season of Advent, the pandemic means Christmas this year will probably be like none other ever since Mary and Joseph set out for Bethlehem over 2,000 years ago. While it looks as though churches and places of worship will be allowed to hold services, there will be restrictions and health precautions. What then will this Christmas be like, and how are churches going to celebrate? Christmas is the season for giving and remembering those in need; we ask whether Covid will cast a long shadow over the meaning of this holy season.

In this programme laced with Christmas music, Rosa Hunt has been talking to those who celebrate Christmas year-in year-out, but who this year have had to find new ways of marking the birth of Christ, from innovative use of the internet to quiet meditation. Guests include Dr Emma Gibbins, director of music at St Woolos Cathedral, Lucy Graham - one of the choristers there, Revd Aled Davies of the Welsh Sunday School Council, Cath Woolridge, a contemporary worship leader and author, and Revd Dean Aaron Roberts, Rector of a group of parishes centred on Rudry near Caerphilly.
