Advent, Christmas and EpiphanyOf all the seasons of the Church’s year, Advent is most full of promise. As we wait and prepare for the coming of Christ, wealso look forward to the promise of his return: when all the pain of human experience will come to an end, and we will all becaught up in the full knowledge and love of God. With this focus, we read Biblical texts of hope and we light the four candlesof the Advent wreath, one by one, bringing a gradual dawning until the light of Christmas finally breaks into the world.Starting as a flicker, and spreading through our Cathedral as Advent progresses, the light finally blazes into the darknessof the night at our Midnight Choral Eucharist, when we worship Jesus – the baby of Bethlehem, the Son of God who riseswith healing in his wings, the light that came into the darkness that continues to enlighten all the world. That focus on lightcontinues into the season of Epiphany, when we explore the revealing of the light of God in the beginning of Jesus’s ministry.As we approach Christmas, we pray that the light of Christ will dawn into the hearts and homes of all people and shine outfrom this cathedral church into our city, county and diocese.Revd Philippa White, Succentor
