Advent

The Archbishop of York's Advent Book for 2024

From bestselling author and artist Ruth Chou Simons comes this gorgeously illustrated Advent exploration of what it means to intimately experience God's presence in our lives not only at Christmas, but all year long.

Seasonal spiritual wisdom alongside recipes and fun ideas for how to celebrate Christmas.

Follow the Star: Calm and Bright is the Church of England's theme for Christmas 2024. Taking inspiration from the world-famous carol 'Silent Night', this year we are invited to step into the still centre of the Christmas story where 'All is calm, All is bright'. Single copy.

Unlike Lent, Advent is celebrated when the year is becoming darker and colder, moving into the death and dormancy of winter. Before we can greet the coming of the light, we need to engage with some themes that are challenging and occasionally fearful.
