S3E7 - Advent Meditation II

Welcome back to the Sacristy!


Thanks for joining us for our series of Advent meditations! After we talk about our favorite (and least favorite) church snacks, we dive into considering some of the great hymnody of this Advent season. Hark a thrilling voice is sounding! Its Deacon Thom Crowe with us again! Here’s the poem he mentioned during the course of our conversation:


Make ready, O Bethlehem; for Eden hath been opened for all. Prepare, O Ephratha; for the Tree of life hath blossomed forth in the cave from the Virgin; for her womb did appear as a supersensual paradise in which is planted the divine Plant, whereof eating we shall live and not die as Adam. Verily, Christ shall be born, raising the likeness that fell of old. -Troparion for the Forefeast of the Nativity of Christ

  • Isaiah 40:1-11 (Comfort, comfort my people)
