We continue through Advent towards Christmas with a new series of Morning Bell beginning tomorrow based on the Magnificat – Mary’s prophetic song of joy as she reflects on the impending birth of her child. To see the Magnificat in context spend time in the first chapter of Luke’s Gospel. Mary’s song suggests that the impact of this birth will be felt around the world for generations to come. Something amazing is happening!

The photos from which this set of images have been made were all taken in the harbour side area of the city of Bristol. Spend time with the images and you may detect within them icons of Mary and the Holy Family.
Grace and peace to you this Advent
Ian
