Christmas Star 2020
Ignatian Spirituality includes the use of our imagination to make the stories from the gospel come alive in our minds, hearts and bodies. What better way to fuel our imagination and our prayer lives around the Christmas Story, than to experience a viewing of the Christmas Star? This bright celestial event is caused by the lining up of planets in a row, making Jupiter and Saturn look as if they are one in the sky. Watch this video to learn more about how to view the “Christmas Star of 2020” and mark your calendars for December 21. You won’t want to miss this!
