The four weeks of Advent (meaning “coming”), the season of waiting and preparation for the birth of the Messiah, began on Advent Sunday, the fourth Sunday before the Nativity. It was a time of fasting, i.e. abstaining from meat. Today, 27th November is Advent Sunday and to commemorate this day I wanted to share with […]

It is a special book for me because Anne Boleyn was […]

During Advent I have been sharing readings from French Reformer Jacques Lefèvre d’Étaples’ book Epistres et Evangiles pour les cinquante et deux semaines de l’an (Epistles and Gospels for the 52 Weeks of the Year) because this was a work that Anne Boleyn owned and read. Anne was given a beautiful illuminated manuscript of Lefèvre’s […]
