When I was first explaining my idea of a Catholic New Media Advent Calendar to my family I said that it could contain any kind of media that helped us to focus upon the season of advent– whether it was the written word, visual art, podcast, music or even funny cat videos. My daughter thought that the idea of showing cat videos was hilarious so she immediately grabbed her camera and started chasing the cat. Here are a couple of her cat videos.
When I started this post, I went looking for Christmas Lolcat pictures. I stumbled upon the LOL Cat Bible: Lectionary Readings for Epiphany Sunday. That’s right folks. A bunch of people have been busy translating the LOLCat Bible. And you can find the Sunday lolcat readings on the Meeauw blog.
Here is the Lolcat translation of the visit of the Magi from Matthew 2.1-12.
