THE VIGIL PROJECT PRESENTS

A new album for Advent & Christmas

JOIN THE ADVENT PRAYER JOURNEY

ABOUT THE ALBUM

Way of the Star is a meditative journey into the story of Christ’s Incarnation. Through five original musical compositions and four lyrical “responsories,” you’ll be drawn into the Scripture passages of the Infancy Narrative (Luke and Matthew) with an invitation to encounter and contemplate the Word of God with renewed depth.

Purchase the Album

The album is best experienced in its full multimedia version, with integrated artwork by Natalie Barker (Colors by Natalie). Beginning on December 1st, **join us on a free email journey** where we’ll release – one by one – beautiful reflections for Advent along with the multimedia premieres of each album track. This isn’t a gimmick or bait-and-switch marketing effort, but rather an effort to prayerfully offer a space for you to pray, reflect, and dive deep into the mystery of the Incarnation this Advent and Christmas.

We’ve included a preview of the first release from the multimedia journey above. We invite you find a quiet space, perhaps with a journal and bible at the ready. Open your prayer with a time of silence, then read Luke 1:26-38. Allow the words to settle into your being, then click the video below to watch and listen to Mary, Handmaid of the Lord.
