“This year, a pall of darkness was cast over Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights,” the Archbishop said. “The attack that brought that darkness targeted the Jewish community — our fellow Australians.”

The Archbishop said it was understandable that people will have mixed feelings approaching Christmas.

“How can we celebrate when there is such darkness in the world, and it has come so close?”

But he said, the Bible speaks poignantly to this moment in time. “Seven hundred years before Jesus was born, the prophet Isaiah wrote: “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.”

For Christians, that light is Jesus,” the Archbishop said.

“Christmas isn’t escapism. Christmas is about God's rescue.” says Archbishop Raffel.
