SEOUL, December 24 (AJP) - As the year-end Christmas season arrives, choirs across the country are spreading holiday joy and cheer.

Among them, a children's choir at Light and Salt Church in northern Seoul lit candles last week, about a week ahead of Christmas.

Through their carols, they prayed that small lights might come together to overcome the darkness, and that their small voices could swell into a thunderous chorus, bringing warmth to the cold winter night.
