| The Annunciation by Fra Angelico (1432) |
A is for Angels...announcing to Mary and then to Joseph that Jesus was to be born.
Luke 1:26, 30-31
God sent the angel Gabriel to a young girl named Mary who lived in Nazareth. ...But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus.”
Matthew 1:20-21
…an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."

Sarah, how does it work with the first Sunday of Advent being 28 days away from Christmas? Do we start the coutdown paper chain and traditional advent calendars today or wait till December 1?
ReplyDeleteThis was created for 2007...so there will be a gap of a few days. So, you can choice what you'd like to do. You could make a Advent wreath and/or scripture chain the first part of this week and start the devotions on Friday, December 2. Christmas Day is X.
