Advent windows 4

Saltaire Living Advent Calendar 2018

Quite a few of this year's Advent windows have a traditional nativity theme. I liked this stained glass effect one, at 64 George Street, with its huge star shining over the stable in Bethlehem where the baby Jesus rests in a manger.  I'm off to our church Carol Service this evening, so my head will be full of the lovely traditional carols, including, no doubt, 'O little town of Bethlehem' although 'Away in a Manger' usually features in the children's Crib Service on Christmas Eve, rather than in the Carol Service. 

'Today in the town of David, a Saviour has been born to you; he is Christ The Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.' Luke 2: 11-12
