This poignant story from 1913 transcends the typical Christmas narrative, delving into the depths of spiritual wisdom and the elusive nature of understanding. Meet Henry Collinton, an 81-year-old widowed Episcopal bishop, as he navigates his final Christmas day. Throughout the day, he encounters four significant figures, including three cherished friends and the Christ he has devoted his life to following. As he reflects on his journey, the Bishop remains unaware of the profound beauty God is revealing to him—moments that surpass mere fulfillment. All happily he sat there in his old study chair, looking toward the eastward window. His face had changed to a beauty of light. Gently on the chair arms rested the lean old hands, as very softly the gray room brightened at the coming of the dawn. - Summary by David Wales
