Advent is the most wonderful Season. My home has not one but three Advent wreaths and candles. It is the lighting of the candles, the glow of their lights, that fills my heart with immense joy. It is the anticipation and preparing the way of salvation that resonated within me.

When it’s a Cornish Style Beef Pastry. I’m not even sure what a Cornish Pastry is, so I looked it up. It’s a British baked turnover pastry associated with Cornwall. Does that help? Didn’t help me.

Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
