With great joy, I share with you the 16th annual Celtic Advent Calendar 2025 (through Christmas to Epiphany!).

You can read more about why I created this calendar here.

Celtic Advent begins 40 days before Christmas (November 15) and gives us more time for enjoying this season of preparation for the birth of Jesus, allowing prayer, love, joy, and spaciousness to mark this season.

Please share this calendar with friends, family, churches, and anyone who might be blessed by following its simple practices.

grace and joy,

P.S. If you want more ideas for living the church year in home and life, I recommend Kimberlee Conway Ireton’s lovely book The Circle of Seasons: Meeting God in the Church Year.
