Mary, Joseph and Donkey arrived at St James, Milton Abbas to find it full of trees - Christmas Trees - with lights sparkling and decorations hanging from every branch. It was beautiful! While they rested, they watched the church fill with people. And before they knew it, the church was filled with music and singing. There were songs about Christmas trees, shepherds and encouragement to go to Bethlehem. Mary and Joseph were introduced to everyone in the church - were they celebrities?
Our travellers were invited to spend the night in the peaceful church surrounded by all the trees; only to be woken by the Rector stumbling in with his bag and books and waking them up in the morning! - He was here for the early communion service and Mary, Joseph and Donkey watched as he lit the advent candles. The Rector said that this Sunday the candle was for John the Baptist. - Donkey wondered who he was.
