Pilgrims to the Manger

Content

This book is an invitation to a pilgrimage through Advent, to Christmas itself and on to Epiphany. As the days and weeks pass, we will reflect on a range of issues - the significance of the festivities, the values that underpin our lives, some of the other special days in the Church calendar at this time, and how we can begin to deepen our understanding of God's perspective on our world, our church and ourselves.

'Pilgrimage' is more than a figure of speech in this book, however. You are invited to join an imaginary group of pilgrims on a path that starts in an average high street and leads through and beyond the city, offering lessons from the sights and sounds encountered along the way. It's not a conventional pilgrimage, following a well-trodden route to a well-known destination, but it is a pilgrimage of both head and heart that will help us to explore something of what it means to say that God is with us. We will see, too, how this truth brings both challenge and consolation for us as we follow the Christ-child.
