You are warmly invited to join Archbishop Sarah Mullally and eleven other Christians whose lives have given them a particular connection with the Christmas story. Whether keeping watch by night, observing the stars or supporting new parents, their experiences shed light on what it means to receive God’s gift and respond today. Beginning on Christmas Day and ending of the Eve of the Epiphany, The Gift of Christmas offers a theme, a picture, a short reading, reflection, prayer and challenge to grow in faith throughout the Christmas season and beyond. The Gift of Christmas is The Church of England’s theme for Advent and Christmas 2026.
