It wasn t as if she
had to come up with great original material in order to have a full-fledged album, the singer pointed out in a recent virtual press event. There s already legions of beloved classic holiday songs, such as Silent Night and Away in a Manger. If we can add something, that s the most important thing add pieces to the puzzle, Underwood explains of her mindset going into writing new music for the project.

“Do not fear for I am with you…” (Isaiah 41:10); “Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ” (1 Cor. 11:1). These words of the scriptures succinctly summarize the words of Jesus, through the mouth of his servant to the world that suffers from innumerable threats, a world in need of whispering hope. Exactly 342 days into a world tragedy whose first cluster was recorded in Wuhan, and 63 days after the publication of the Papal Encyclical “Fratelli Tutti”, the Holy Father addresses the world with a message of hope; he calls for a recognition of those who continue to “live in the shadows” – ordinary people whose works are often overlooked yet contribute greatly to the welfare of all.

A Christmas like no other!
This is what the world including Sri Lanka will experience as the lives of men, women and children are overwhelmed by the new coronavirus which has invaded every nook and cranny, leaving behind death, disease, isolation, loneliness and poverty.
The celebration, sometimes even excessive in earlier years, may be muted but many are holding onto the hope that filled the earth 2020 years ago at midnight on December 24, from the bare and barren manger where lay the tiny Baby Jesus, wrapped in swaddling clothes.

Known as the cradle of civilisation and famous for its treasures, the Sphinx and the pyramid of Giza, the sprawling city of Cairo is pure magic

It was 2:00 am. The baggage claim area at the airport was now empty but my wife and I still held out for a miracle. Sadly, however, it was not a day for miracles. We were obliged to leave the airport empty handed with a receipt from the lost luggage counter, armed with the hope of being reunited with our lost baggage sometime in the near future. This did nothing to dampen our spirits, for we were after all in the city where civilisation began: Umm al-Dunya, the “mother of the world”: magical Cairo.
