The Advent Series is on its third year (2012).
The full Advent Series starts here:

The Series is a combination of
photos and graphics, short essays,
poems, prayers, and music -
all on an Advent theme.
To set the tone for things today I'm
including a link to my Youtube channel,
to a short (5:42) video of birds from the
Rio Grande Valley, all in motion to
the music of Paul Schwartz -
the AMAZING Paul Schwartz,
"Veni Redemptor Gentium" -
("Come Redeemer of the People").
It's an ancient prayer from the 4th
century written by St. Ambrose,
presented in a dynamic musical format.
This is true Advent music.
Thanks for visiting and please check out the series -
each day is very different.
