An Advent verse a day, with one small thing to do

Open one door each morning from December 1 to 24: a short verse from the Christmas story and one real-life step for today. It takes one minute.

How the Advent verse calendar works

Advent is the four weeks of waiting before Christmas. This calendar walks from the prophets (Isaiah and Micah) to Mary and the angels, and on to the manger in Luke 2. Each door opens on its own date, so there's always one to look forward to. Your opened doors are saved on this device, nowhere else.

Scripture is from the World English Bible (WEB), which is in the public domain.
