Welcome to the St-Quentin Christmas market

The Agora association has a stand offering fair trade items at the Christmas market in downtown St-Quentin. The chalet is surrounded by 24 others. On Saturday, December 18 the market is open non-stop until 9:30 p.m. and on the 24^th until 5 p.m. Taking down and putting away is scheduled for Monday, December 26.

“At the sight of the crowds, Jesus was filled with compassion for them, for they were troubled and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. »Matthew 9:36 There are also large crowds on the weekends, but on weekdays there are very few visitors … and few buyers. I am convinced that I am in the right place in the midst of this crowd which, like those in Jesus’ time, seems helpless… I am able to talk about the real hope of Christmas with several visitors – often troubled by life – to offer over 40 Hidden Treasures calendars, Christmas messages, Gospels.

I am very happy to be there, even though sales are limited. I need the Lord to renew my compassion for “this crowd” and my physical and spiritual strength. I hope I will have many more opportunities to introduce the Savior, whose coming is celebrated at Christmas.
