An Advent Calendar of Stories
December 11 2014
Three
Wise Women
Janet
Bunce
Poyo
(palm wine)
Quietly and with a
sisterly understanding they prepared for their journey.
It
would take many days on foot to reach the mother and baby but they knew this
was important.
They
carried gifts to present to the baby in recognition of this birth.
Each
with a special significance.
A
crystal symbolising the healing process that had started.
A
white dove to mark the peace and hope that now would be felt.
And
an embroidered cloth with the Adinkra symbol, “Aya” for endurance.
All
for this special girl. The first baby born in their old village since Ebola had
been eradicated.
