“O Holy Night”
Many different traditions hover over our carol repertoire like the stars on Christmas Eve. This one is French, rooted in the music of the nineteenth-century Catholic Church, half-opera, half-soirée, designed to echo cavernously round the gloomy spaces of some vast Gothic church, reverently bellowed by a trained opera singer, all vibrato and shirt frills, accompanied… The post “O Holy Night” appeared first on FaithGateway.

Wait for It
This morning my husband laughed when he looked in his coffee cup. I had no idea why… A little before the laughing, I had asked him, “Do you want cream?” He said, “Yes.” So, while he was looking away, I poured the cream in.
