Pluscarden Abbey,Scotland;monks preparing for Christmas.
CLICK IMAGE TO ENLARGE----The monks have been picking holly, rehearsing music and ceremonies, and making sure their candles are ready for burning on Christmas day.
Their daily routine of prayers and work around the abbey from 4.30 am to 8.40pm will be relaxed on December 25, when the monks will enjoy a traditional festive Christmas meal together and bring in a television from local friends so they can sit down and watch a dvd film.
A Christmas day dawn Mass will be held in English at 8am, followed by a further Mass sung in Latin at 11am.
