Stories of the Winter Saints

Stories of the Winter Saints

Picture
The extraordinary book, "The Winter Saints" ( by Melissa Musick Nussbaum and  Judy Jarrett , Liturgy Training Publications, 1998) offers readers more than 40 vibrantly illustrated stories of the saints--one for every day of Advent and Christmastide!  Each day, from November 26 through January 6th, we invite you to join us in remembering and celebrating the lives and light of these diverse and holy women and men who lived in many different times and places. 

In the videos below, Mother Sylvia reads each story aloud for your listening enjoyment.  We hope you'll enjoy listening and then continue to read these stories from your own book at home! 

Note: Some very young children may find the stories of the saints somewhat frightening, as many saints experience danger and suffer violent deaths. These stories of the Winter Saints may be best suited for elementary aged children, as well as teens and adults.  If you are the parent of a very young child who is not quite ready for stories of saints, you might visit our Advent Storybook page for other nightly reading/devotional options to help you celebrate this season!


Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky,
and those who lead many to righteousness,
​ 
like the stars for ever and ever. (Daniel 12:3)
...be blameless and innocent, children of God ... 
in which you shine like stars in the world. 
​(Philippians 2:15)
