We invite everyone to bring the Baby Jesus statue from your Nativity scenes at home so that we can bless the statues as part of the Lessons and Carols ceremony. This blessing of the statues of the Baby Jesus is an old tradition, especially in the city of Rome, where people bring their statues to Saint Peter’s Square on this Third Sunday of Advent in order for the Pope himself to bless them from his window.
This coming Friday, December 15th, beginning at 6:00 P.M. we will gather on our Levick Street lawn, in front of Saint Timothy’s rectory and upper church, where we will have a Live Nativity, complete with live animals of all kinds, and Mary, Joseph, and the Baby Jesus, along with shepherds and wise men, all portrayed by our own students from Blessed Trinity School.
