In this issue

Saint Martin who always features on the November covers of our magazine also graces the December cover this year. He is shown holding the Baby Jesus and the background to the original drawing is explained in the Editorial. In keeping with the season Patricia Hope looks at the history of those lovely Christmas evergreens, the holly and the ivy. In our series on ‘The Angels’ their role in the wonderful narrative of Christmas is explored. The theme continues in the very touching account of ‘The Legend of The Donkey’ and the Christ Child is also celebrated in ‘Lesser-Known Pilgrimage Sites’ as Ray Hughes traces the history of the Infant Jesus of Prague. His image, radiating innocence and divine authority, reminds us of the profound mystery of God becoming a vulnerable infant, born into humble surroundings. The parents of the much-loved Pope Saint John Paul are the subjects of ‘Married Saints’ and Kylemore Abbey is the topic of ‘It Happened This Month’. Thinking of giving gifts for the new Year? Check out our Saint Martin Calendar and Diary and the great value offer for the Saint Martin Square Candle, always a popular choice.
