Christmas with Cathy Macdonald

25/12/2020

Duration: 55 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio OrkneyLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio Scotland FM

The anticipation of Advent is realised in the birth of the baby in the manger. This year when so many have faced challenge and loss, but experienced people coming together to help and support each other, the importance of hope and strength in community seems all the more significant. Joining Cathy are: new mum, Dr Linden Bicket of Edinburgh University’s School of Divinity; producer and broadcaster, Leanne Coyle, who had her second child during lockdown and artist, Roxana Vilk, who has been collecting lullabies from across the world and whose own grown-up child was born on Christmas Day. Along with some festive music, they share their stories about new life, hope and building relationships. Show less
