Each window has a Bible verse on the reverse side, but unlike most Advent calendars, the original picture and the one revealed on the opened window usually have nothing in common. This is also true of the Bible verse. Most advent calendars have verses that lead up to the birth of Jesus being revealed in the 24th window, but this calendar in -explicably takes a more random approach. I think the quotations regarding His birth showed up on the 18th which made the following days anti-climatic.

Particularly nice was the placement of the window for Christmas Eve: on our Blessed Mother’s lap. When my son opened the door for Christmas Eve he was so happy to see little baby Jesus in His Mother’s arms.

A great way to celebrate and look forward to Christmas!
