Sunday 14th December - Advent 3 - Joy

 Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice greatly; the Sixteen singing this aria from Handel's Messiah 



And Sean McCann and friends singing The Seven Good Joys of Mary


Advent 3; the third candle is glowing


The theme for this Sunday is Joy, following on from Hope and Peace.

Christmas approacheth apace; only ten more drawers left in the Advent calendar, only ten more pieces to add to my tree house


It's looking full of life and interest now;


I heard about the online calendar from the Ashmolean Museum the other day. Too good not to share.

Here's wishing you all many joyful moments this week.

  2. Are you familiar with the "Silly Sisters" "Seven Joys of Mary"? Verse six is positively angelic.

    1. No, I shall hunt it up now. That's what I love about blogs, the sharing of ideas and knowledge. Thank you.

    1. They are made by Roger de Borde. I'll keep all the pieces as they usually last several years
