At Trinity this morning the fourth candle on the Advent Crown was lit. The last candle will be lit on Christmas Day.
I see in the window of Sue Ryder that there is a display with Baby Jesus in the manger.
Schools have already finished for Christmas, and last week a lot of schools will have performed nativity plays. The Abingdon Herald often has a spread of nativity pictures from all the different primary schools.
On the Market Place yesterday the Church in Abingdon offered children and animals the chance to have their picture taken as part of the nativity scene.
nobody can accuse him of being a dog in the manger…..
