Created in partnership with illustrator extraordinaire Penelope Dullaghan, this indigo blue (think: night sky just before dawn!) printable calendar will help you and your community beautifully engage the season of Advent.

Every day leading up to Christmas Eve has its own hand-illustrated card:  Sundays include words from scripture, a bite-sized meditation, and a simple prayer; weekday cards include a simple, engaging daily practice to try as we watch, and wait, and pray along the road to Bethlehem.

Ideas for enjoying the calendar:

1) Put each card into a numbered envelope and open one per day until Christmas Eve. 

2) Display the cards in a circle around a centerpiece or candle. 

3) Pin each card onto a large, fabric-covered canvas and place a tiny Christmas decoration on each day that has passed.

4) Check out the video below and let your imagination fly!

Files: This listing is for a download (not a physical product!) of a zipped folder of seven, high resolution PDF files for you to reproduce on 8.5x11 inch white card stock.

Printing and Cutting: Print PDFs at 100%, in horizontal format, on 8.5x11 inch white card stock for vibrant results.  Then, simply cut along the thin, grey lines with scissors, an exacto-knife and ruler, or (our favorite!) pinking sheers.  Please note: due to computer monitor display variations, colors may vary slightly. 

Finally, your Printable Advent Calendar is for personal/congregational use only, which means this calendar may not be reproduced commercially, duplicated, or resold :)

Happy counting down the days to Christmas!
