+ “Desire and Light” evokes Epiphany and the wise men’s celebration of the Incarnation through quiet cornfields of Iowa farmland, with scriptures drawn from Isaiah 60 and Matthew 2. The meditation was filmed by FULLER studio at South Skunk River in Marion County, Iowa. The audio for this video is in Mandarin with subtitles in English.

The liturgical calendar spans the life of Christ in a single year—from anticipation (Advent), to hope (Christmas), to transcendence (Epiphany), to lament (Lent), to redemption (Easter), to the birth of the church (Pentecost), and through long, numbered days (Ordinary Time) back to Advent. The liturgical meditation series to which this video belongs relies on nature to tell the story of God, accompanied by scriptures traditional to each season.
