To help us set up the stage for the Nativity Scene. We are starting early to lift the spirit up in this difficult moment of our country due to the pandemic. We need toremind ourselves that it was at the bleakest moment of the history of Judah during the Roman occupation that the light of hope shone forth in the person of Jesus incarnated in the flesh. Let us begin to light up the season that can give us a reason to look forward in hope.
