I know that a sizable portion of my readers are either Western rite Christians who begin their Advent on December 1, or Orthodox Christians on the Old Calendar, in which case their Nativity Fast began on November 28.
So I wanted to wish everyone kicking off Advent this week a blessed season of waiting for the birth of our Lord.
I also wanted to share that I’ve updated my poetry Advent calendar to include a 25-day version in addition to the original 40-day one. Enjoy!
