This year's theme: The Nativity as Narrated by the Innkeeper’s Cat
Step into the quiet wonder of the first Christmas night through the eyes of the innkeeper’s cat — a silent witness to the holy and the ordinary mingling in straw and shadow. In this poetic retelling of the story of the nativity, creation itself seems to hold its breath as heaven stoops low, and the forgotten observer at the stable’s edge feels eternity purr in the heart of the world.
As different voices reflect, the story unfolds with tenderness and awe — where beasts bow, light glows through hay, and the divine becomes touchable. It is a tale of quiet revelation, where even silence hums with glory.
To hear and read more of what the Innkeeper’s Cat saw, along with contributions from HHO community, please subscribe.
What is this all about?
We hope to offer this to people who are alone, or who struggle during this season as a source of comfort and inspiration to draw nearer to God.
It also represents a gift to our Holy Hermits Online members and family as an extension of our devotional practice.
We hope folk will gift this subscription to others for Christmas (for people who are at a distance, those they don’t know what else to gift, or for those they wish to share faith/invitation to HHO with in a special way).
This also has the potential to be a beautiful gift to the wider church community and create more opportunity for us to connect with our Ministry Partners.
How does it work?
After registrations close we will contact all on the list to confirm the subscription. People can opt out at this point or unsubscribe using the button at the bottom of any of our send outs to stop recieving the emails.
All email addresses are securely handled through the tithe.ly database and emails are sent through a mail sytem which means that addresses are never shared with others on the list.
If you are purchasing this as a present for someone, make sure to contact them to let them know that it is from you!
