A Christmas Day message from the Moderator

Lord Wallace, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, extends Christmas greetings to one and all.

Throughout the season of Advent, we brought you stories that highlight how church members around the country are celebrating the birth of Jesus and sharing their faith, hope and love with everyone in their communities.

Lord Wallace said: "The Christmas story is a humble story.

"The light comes to those who have nothing to offer or so they think.

"The light is not overbearing.

"It is a glimmer of promise in a dark time."

We hope you enjoyed this year's Advent Calendar and have a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
