    Product Details

    Download this Advent embroidery pattern — “Good News of Great Joy” (Luke 2:10) — and stitch it with your own supplies, or add the pre-printed fabric and floss. Abide’s 2026 Advent Stitch-Along design, available as an instant download.

    The Christmas story is full of the gospel. Instead of ushering in fear, the angel announced “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people” (Luke 2:10). The gospel is a message of joy for all people, and this stitch-along is meant to underscore the joy that comes with the arrival of Christ.
