I guess for the last eight days or more (depending on how many days are in Advent) I'll have to double up. These ornaments are really fun to sew. I'm almost (almost) sad that I'm just about finished.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747308009364094199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172588600946128888.post-36088831256935477952015-12-19T13:14:38.072-05:002015-12-19T13:14:38.072-05:00The longest Advent is 28 days with Christmas on a ...The longest Advent is 28 days with Christmas on a Sunday. There are 8 O Antiphons beginning on the 17th. 28 and 8 is 36, so your parish must have been very thorough!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12072984925282936743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172588600946128888.post-68105647994770984282015-12-19T12:16:24.855-05:002015-12-19T12:16:24.855-05:00As I've almost finished my Jesse Tree ornament...As I've almost finished my Jesse Tree ornaments (I think four to go), I noticed that I have way more than 24. I have 36. I searched the internet and couldn't figure out why our parish came up with 36 different readings/symbols. I can only assume that we have one for the first 24 days in December and then 12 for the Twelve Days of Christmas? The strange thing is the Birth of the Messiah lands on the 27th day if I go in order, one per day. Any ideas for why I have so many readings?Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747308009364094199noreply@blogger.com
