While looking for and posting video and audio files to this website, I have like C S Lewis been "surprised by joy"; by the abundance of the harvest festival produced by the Christian faith.
The display includes:
Drama from mystery plays to films about Jesus, the prophets, the saints, right through to the Lego Parable videos
Books from the New Testament to Dickens' Christmas Carol
Poetry from Blake to Hopkins to Gibran
Songs from Gregorian chants through hymns and carols, oratorios, requiems to gospel spirituals and protest folk songs, and how many beautiful solo voices, groups and choirs are singing God's praises
Instrumental music from bellringers, orchestras, organists and didgeridoos
Visual Art from frescoes to painting, sculpture, stained glass and Charlie Brown cartoons
Festival traditions such as building creches, preparing special foods and gift giving but most of all spending time with loved ones
What a cornucopia of creativity has sprung from Christianity.
