Advent Series, Part 2 - "Annunciation" by Scott Cairns
The Sacramentalists
In today's episode, Fr. Myles continues a three-part Advent series that looks at the Blessed Virgin Mary through the lens of three different works of Christian art. "Annunciation" by Scott Cairns Deep within the clay, and O my people very deep within the wholly earthen compound of our kind arrives of one clear, star-illumined evening a spark igniting once again the tinder of our lately banked noetic fire. She burns but she is not consumed. The dew lights gently, suffusing the pure fleece. The wall comes down. And—do you feel the pulse?—we all become the kindled kindred of a King whose birth thereafter bears to all a bright nativity.
