Description
Advent is a time of waiting.
While life rushes around us at break-neck speed attempting to get in all the things we βneedβ to do to have a magical holiday, Advent quietly reminds us that the busy-ness, the rushing, the shopping, the chores, all of it, are not how itβs supposed to be. Advent beckons us to a simpler way. Advent asks us pause. To be quiet. To listen. To wait.
We take it for granted that the Messiah has already come. His human story here on earth has been told and we know it by heart. There is no anticipation of something that will happen because it is already past. And because of this, we lose sightΒ of the wonder of Advent. But those who came before us watched and waited for hundreds of years for the Messiah. The deliverer. The one who would save them. And the Nativity was all the more amazing for what they finally received: God in infant form.
Advent is about anticipating God being with us. God coming to earth to save us. The manifestation of God in human form. Each week during Advent, we pause to contemplate the mysteries of this sacred event. The wonder of the all-powerful, all-knowing, all-present God of the universe stepping down from his holy throne to be with us. To be one of us and yet not like us. To save us. To love us.
Art can have a way of allowing us to pause and be silent. To notice details and immerse ourselves in a story. To make that story ours. If you so choose, from this guide and the accompanying prints, feel free to display an individual print during each week of Advent and present it with the readings provided. Or, feel at liberty to explore other ways to include the art in your Advent traditions.
May these Advent art devotions allow you to pause and contemplate the true wonder of the season. To anticipate the sacred and divine arrival of God with us.

I love how you put together such beautiful packets to help us teach through Jesus celebrations. My granddaughter, 8 years old, met Jesus during the Lenten series. Hoping to see further growth through the Advent series. Thank you for your beautiful work.

This was my 2nd order – I had to come back for more as these prints are just SO beautiful! Amazing quality. Can’t wait to make the holidays more meaningful and spark deeper thought. I plan on mounting my pictures to foam board and framing a few.
