Digital Advent Calendar from down under
It’s a one stop shop for anyone looking for new and thoughtful ways to prepare for
Christmas. And though it comes from down under, it doesn’t matter where you are in
the world in order to go there. The Archdiocese of Sydney’s Xt3.com website hosts
an interactive Advent Calendar that seems to offer a bit of everything to Catholics
looking for prayers, readings and reflections to get them into the spirit of Christmas.The award winning site’s interactive Advent Calendar features videos, podcasts, daily bible verses and mass readings. It’s also got a helpful “ask a priest” section where people in doubt about their faith can turn for advice or a friendly ear.
There are links to papal reflections and documents and podcasts on saints like St. Nicholas whose feast days we celebrate during Advent.
This year, the first window of the XT3 Advent Calendar opened on November 27th – the first Sunday of Advent. And behind it, says the Archdiocese of Sydney’s Communications Director Katrina Lee, you won’t find a chocolate or a treat, but a video message with a thought: Advent is a time to take time, to slow down, and open up.
