For those in the Northern Hemisphere, Advent comes in winter, which—for much of the geography—means cold temperatures, grey landscapes and snow. Many people like that fine, but I’m pretty sure that subset of humanity has easy access to warm shelter, unbroken grocery supply chains and reliable potable water. Millions in areas like Ukraine and Syria are not so fortunate, so the season is mixed for them.
Therefore, today’s Advent piece comes from the Caribbean, via Carnegie
Hall, because we could use a little island warmth and color. Here are Kathleen
Battle and Frederica von Stade singing “Mary’s Boy Child”, with the help of
Wynton Marsalis and the American Boy Choir.
May warmth find its way to all in need of it.
