At Mildmay, we reflect on the idea of ‘waiting’, of preparing for the great feast of Christmas.

We prepare for God’s homecoming by becoming at home in ourselves. Advent begins with Hope: humility and self-acceptance - not complacency - unraveling interior knots to welcome light. The wreath’s evergreens and candles mark a journey through Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love, guiding reflective practice - scripture, song, and service - toward compassionate action and readiness to brighten the world.

On 6th January, Christians around the world celebrate Epiphany, also known as Three Kings’ Day.

From all of us at Mildmay, we send our warmest Christmas wishes to you and your loved ones.

As Christmas Eve approaches, we enter the sacred season of Christmastide, marking the culmination of the Advent journey.

As we enter the final week of Advent, we light the fourth candle, the last of the purple candles. Known as the Angel’s Candle.

This week at Mildmay Hospital, we continued our Christmas festivities with a special lunch for our amazing staff and volunteers.

As we enter the third week of Advent, we come to a special moment in the season’s journey - marked by the lighting of the Shepherd's Candle.

On the evening of 12th December, we hosted our much-anticipated annual Christmas Carol Service at Mildmay Hospital.

As we light the second candle on the Advent wreath this week, we are reminded of the peace that Christ brings into our lives and the world.
