May I add my voice to the chorus of approval for this request ?
BTW, why have Carolyn & Bill fallen silent ? Personal greetings for a Happy
& Blessed Christmas to one and to all ...
If I may be slightly off topic -
My (Church of England) parish church holds an Advent Carol Service on the
First Sunday using the Great O Antiphons as the framework. It is a lovely
way to start the season (much better than watching Santa Claus descend from
a helicopter ........)
Learned Friends may also like to know that the Special Collections
Department of Glasgow University Library are celebrating the Nativity by
showing on their web pages a positively glorious set of mediaeval miniatures
from their MS collection: "Paradise Regained: Images of Christ's Nativity
from Manuscripts."
