Fourth Sunday of Advent: Swaddling Clothes

In Week 4 Star of Wonder: Advent Virtual Pilgrimage of Life, we step into the heart of Bethlehem just days before Christmas! Walk through the Door of Humility into the Church of the Nativity, see the manger where Jesus was born, and marvel at the star marking the spot of His birth.

Our Advent symbol this week is a candle, reminding us of the great light seen over the Shepherds’ Fields, where angels announced good news of great joy. Reflect on the story of the Levite shepherds and the miraculous sign of swaddling clothes, revealing the true Messiah from one of the shepherds’ caves.

Finally, visit the Holy Family Hospital, where care for the miracle of life continues every day in the birthplace of Christ.

Don’t just hear the story—walk where Jesus was born and witness the living faith of the Christian people of Bethlehem today to experience the wonder and hope of Christmas like never before!
