Listen to daily video broadcasts of Advent and Christmas choral music by female composers and arrangers, sung by participating parish, cathedral and university choirs from the US and UK.’
  • The American Friends of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem Advent Calendar (AFEDJ): ‘Open a door to a photo or a brief video for a glimpse into the lives of Holy Land Christians and the humanitarian ministries of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem.’

  • Türchen: Create your own online Advent Calendar
  • Advent Paper Chain: ‘Try an Advent Calendar with a difference – an Advent paper chain. It is fun for the kids to make themselves and is an economical – as well as decorative, alternative to the shop-bought advent calendars.’
