Advent Spiral
On Sunday, Classes 1 and 2 shared an Advent play with us, in which they walked the beautiful Advent spiral. Each child carefully carried their light (a small flickering flame) and placed it on the richly scented greenery of the fir spiral decorated with crystals (which represent the mineral world), cyclamen (the plants) and shells (the animals) while Mary stood with her warm embrace ready for the Christ Child’s arrival. New life, a reconnection with this precious life, family, friends and community – here on earth and in the heavens.
