December / Advent / Christmas

From darkness to light. From shorter and shorter days to the winter solstice and the gradual return of the light. From preparing our houses, our church, our hearts, to seeking the Christ in ourselves and our neighbors. From looking toward the end times and the second coming of Christ, to the birth of the Savior. From lighting the Advent wreath with one more candle each week, to the coming of the light of the world. Candlelight, holly, the joy of children, family and friends, carols and bells, brass and choir,preaching and eucharist, Christ’s Mass; and the wonder that the birth of the savior of the world is witnessed by stable animals, confirmed by shepherds, and treasured by traveling sages who humble themselves before a poor child to present their gifts.
