 A lot of Christmas music has grown a bit stale for me, but Sufian Stevens's Christmas unicorn awakens me to the mystery of this holy day. Unicorns are wild and a symbol of purity and grace. Their horns can render poisoned water potable and heal sickness. In the Chronicles of Narnia, unicorns are known for their fierce loyalty, wisdom, and strength. In Harry Potter, unicorn blood can keep alive those on the brink of death. In short, the unicorn is a symbol of whatever is most good and life-giving. Purity, grace, wildness, living water, healing, Jesus just might have been a unicorn.
