Family traditions become established, sometimes quite by accident and sometimes because "we've always done it that way." But the best family traditions are thoughtfully cultivated. With Hallelujah: Cultivating Advent Traditions With Handel's Messiah, Cindy Rollins leads the way in building a rich Advent tradition for you and your family. Inside you will find:
- Weekly Scripture passages, hymns, and poems,
- Daily Messiah listening schedule with background information from Greg Wilbur
- An overview of the church calendar by Thomas Banks
- Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany recipes, and
- Suggestions for celebrating the Advent feasts of St. Nicholas
and St. Lucia.
Cindy also invited four of her friends to share how they celebrate Advent with their own families.
“Advent is a season of preparation and anticipation. This delightful volume provides meaningful, beautiful, and practical ways to prepare our hearts for the great mystery of Christ’s Nativity.”
