Infos

Instead of putting away your nativity scenes and other Christmas decorations on December 25, celebrate all the days to come! December 25 is only the beginning of Christmas, George Donigian reminds us. He offers meditations that begin with Advent and continue through the 12th night of Christmas—January 6 (also known as Epiphany).

In Days to Come offers devotional readings based on a merger of several Christmas traditions: Advent calendars, ancient Advent prayers called the “O Antiphons,” the traditional celebration of Christmas on December 25, and the Armenian Orthodox celebration of Christmas on January 6. Four meditations per week, written in a conversational style and covering diverse topics, will grab your interest and encourage you to move with the Incarnation of Jesus Christ into the new year and into mission and ministry.

Includes a brief Leader’s Guide with a suggested order for each week.
