Words:
Glory to God in the highest, And peace to his people on earth.
Background:
A Christmas image which expresses God’s desire for us to enjoy peace in this world and
reminding us that offering to God our unconditional worship, restoring the wonder, majesty
and glory of the Godhead, is part of achieving that goal of peace. The colours and lines of the
background are reminiscent of the Aurora Borealis which we saw a few years ago over the
Island, the colours were vivid reds & greens with golds, yellows and blues flickering against
an inky black sky. We wondered if the record in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle which says, “…
immense flashes of lightening, and fiery dragons were seen flying in the air...” referred to a
rare but brilliant display of the Aurora in the North East of England. We were amazed at the
drama of the fiery sky and could easily imagine a less informed society being attributing its
source to dragons!
