Behold a Great Light

<p>The forty days of fasting before Christmas are meant to prepare us for the Feast of the Nativity but the busyness of the secular celebration can interfere with our best efforts to center our hearts on Christ. <em>Behold a Great Light</em> is a daily devotional designed to help readers contemplate the mysteries of the Incarnation from the beginning of the Nativity fast on November 15 through Christmas and Theophany ending with the Synaxis of St. John the Baptist on January 7. Popular Ancient Faith authors bloggers and podcasters bring their own unique perspectives to these meditations which are paired with selections from the Scriptures and the hymns of the Church.</p><p><br></p><p>Contributors: Fr.
