Star of Wonder: Pilgrimage of Life
This Advent, journey with us to Bethlehem — to virtually visit the place where Christmas began. Through seven inspiring video episodes (an introduction in November, one for each of the four weeks of Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany), we will explore some of the sacred sites of the Nativity and encounter the inspiring Christians who continue to live and serve there today. Their unwavering witness of faith, hope, and charity amidst adversity will illuminate our own spiritual path as we prepare for the coming of Christ.
You’ll also receive a beautiful Advent Calendar with daily Gospel readings from the liturgy, accompanied by reflection questions and short prayers — ideal for personal prayer, family time, or group sharing.
This Advent, let the living faith of Bethlehem’s Christians reignite your heart with the wonder of Christmas!
