In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favoured! The Lord is with you.”
Sit down together and say something encouraging to each person who is with you. What words would let them know that they are very important?
In today’s Bible reading, Mary is told that she is “Highly favoured!”
Elizabeth was Mary’s cousin. She was already expecting her baby when the angel, called Gabriel, came to visit Mary.
Draw or colour in your angel and stick it on your window. This is the very first part of your Christmas window!
Angels bring messages from God. What message do you think people in our world need to hear this Christmas?
Why not see how many others of your friends and family can get involved with making a Christmas Window this year! At the end of every day you could take a photo and send it to friends, and ask them to show you what their window is lookling like!
