Christmas 2025
Welcome and wonder…
‘Happy Christmas from Great Malvern Priory!
Christmas is a time for stories - the story of the baby Jesus, to be sure, but his story includes so many other people. An unmarried mother, a worried stepfather, a bunch of rich academics, an overworked innkeeper, a gang of hardworking agricultural labourers…and all of these had their own story of welcome and wonder to tell.
Here at the the Priory this Christmas, we’re welcoming everyone to come and gather round the crib, and to bring their own stories to connect to Jesus’ story.
Whether it’s through our mix of services, our interactive Nativity Trail, our craft activities or our Christmas Tree Festival, we hope there will be something to help you pause and reflect, and rediscover something special - maybe even wonderful - in your own life.
We look forward to seeing you!’
Every blessing,
Roger
Vicar of Great Malvern Priory
