Welcome to day 1 of the St John's advent calendar. Take a look at today's art work which begin the Christmas story. Then scroll down to hear a Christmas joke. Look out for more staff and children sharing their jokes over the next 24 days.
The annunciation
Artist: Friar Angelico (a monk who lived in the Convent of San Marco, Florence, Italy)
Luke 1:26-38
The ‘annunciation’ means when something has been announced or told. Here is a painting imagining what is was like when the Angel Gabriel came to tell Mary that she was going to have a baby and he was going to be the son of God. Have a look at how Mary is sitting and the expression on her face.
How do you think she might be feeling?
Why do you think that?
