ADVENT WINDOWS <\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

A St. Mary\u2019s initiative for the whole community<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Wenvoe Advent Windows 2021 was a great success. This is the second year residents volunteered to decorate a window on a given date in Advent, so that a new window was lit up each night from 1st to 24th December.<\/p>\n

There were different themes including Santa\u2019s workshop which opened the windows on 1st and other Santa scenes, snowmen, angels, nativity scenes, winter wonderlands, mousemas! village panoramas, stars, a story of a Christmas Mouse in the telephone box and even a portrayal of the film \u2018It\u2019s a Wonderful Life\u2019. Gwenfo School took an active part in providing 2 displays. The first included life size reindeers pulling Santa\u2019s sleigh at the school and then a silhouette of the Nativity scene in the Church grounds on Christmas Eve. At this final lighting up we took the opportunity to invite children and their families to join us in singing carols to herald in Christmas Eve. Fortunately the rain that had been incessant all day stopped and it was a magical moment as families gathered with torches to see the nativity and to sing together.<\/p>\n

Many thanks to all those who took part. There were many comments about \u2018what I would do differently next year\u2019 or \u2018I have got a new idea for next year\u2019. We wait to see what 2022 brings!<\/p>\n
