This enlightening event reinforced the Mayor of Seaford’s theme of enhancing community resilience by fostering connections among residents and community groups from various religious backgrounds.
Speakers delivered poignant tributes highlighting the town's diversity, emphasising the importance of understanding our differences while recognising the commonalities that unite us in faith and light.
Speaking after the service, the Mayor of Seaford, Cllr Sally Markwell said:
“The presence of the residents of Seaford was felt as they filled St Leonard’s Church for our cultural celebration that highlighted how Christmas is celebrated and faith interpreted across the world.
"We were amazed and humbled by performances and readings from pupils from Annecy Catholic Primary School and Seaford Head School Sixth Form.
"We were also well supported by participants from local faith groups, the care services and voluntary sector.
"The evening reflected upon ways of coming together, sharing our light, and the joy and strength in the diversity of our community.”
