There's a story that has been

4
00:01:54,385 --> 00:01:56,818
passed down for centuries,

5
00:01:56,819 --> 00:01:58,876
from father to son.

6
00:02:00,619 --> 00:02:03,518
Legend has it a
certain man came

7
00:02:03,519 --> 00:02:06,383
to live in the
village of Gladbury.

8
00:02:07,985 --> 00:02:10,218
He was a good-hearted man,

devoted to his
family and his craft.

The candle maker brought
light to the entire village.

But he longed to give them more.

12
00:02:23,052 --> 00:02:25,384
Life was hard in Gladbury,

13
00:02:25,384 --> 00:02:29,339
and the people had
become disheartened.

pouring his heart and
his prayers into each candle.

16
00:02:39,718 --> 00:02:41,784
But on the first
Sunday of Advent,

17
00:02:41,785 --> 00:02:47,351
all he had left to give...
was a single prayer,

not for himself, but for
Gladbury, for his son,

00:31:52,297 --> 00:31:55,922
I've lost the Christmas Candle.

479
00:31:56,963 --> 00:31:59,495
Oh surely this is
God punishing us.

480
00:31:59,496 --> 00:32:01,163
[BEA] Oh don't talk
like that, Edward.

481
00:32:01,164 --> 00:32:06,460
I was--I was foolish to
think that candle was ours.

482
00:32:24,896 --> 00:32:26,657
Is it all clear?

483
00:32:28,229 --> 00:32:30,058
[BEA]
Seems to be.

484
00:32:32,996 --> 00:32:35,427
[BEA] Edward!
The reverend is here!

485
00:32:35,629 --> 00:32:37,492
Hide the candles!

486
00:32:39,395 --> 00:32:41,328
[DAVID] Mr. Haddington.
Mrs. Haddington.

487
00:32:41,328 --> 00:32:43,123
[BEA] What a
pleasant surprise.

488
00:32:43,295 --> 00:32:45,625
[DAVID] I imagine your
night was eventful.

489
00:32:47,462 --> 00:32:49,485
So is it here?

490
00:32:52,761 --> 00:32:54,727
The Christmas Candle?

491
00:32:54,728 --> 00:32:56,161
Yes, yes it's here somewhere.

492
00:32:56,162 --> 00:32:57,162
Bea, Bea.

493
00:32:57,162 --> 00:32:58,594
Of course you're not
going to show it to me,

494
00:32:58,594 --> 00:33:00,458
but that's not why I came.

495
00:33:01,594 --> 00:33:04,393
The people's requests
for the candle...

496
00:33:04,394 --> 00:33:06,417
...may I see them?

497
00:33:13,795 --> 00:33:15,895
[BEA] What do you suppose he
intends to do with them'!

498
00:33:15,895 --> 00:33:19,088
[EDWARD]
I don't know. Pray'!

499
00:33:19,327 --> 00:33:21,589
That's what we should be doing.

500
00:33:21,761 --> 00:33:24,093
We've got to
make it better, Bea.

501
00:33:24,094 --> 00:33:25,992
Yes, but how?

502
00:33:27,428 --> 00:33:30,053
[DAVID]
All done. Thank you.

503
00:33:30,794 --> 00:33:33,660
You may have one candle
to give, but I hope to

504
00:33:33,660 --> 00:33:36,649
give everyone a little
light this Christmas.

505
00:33:36,794 --> 00:33:37,760
That's it!

506
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:38,626
What?

507
00:33:38,627 --> 00:33:41,787
I mean... that's a lovely idea.

508
00:33:41,994 --> 00:33:43,727
Well, you mustn't delay.

509
00:33:43,727 --> 00:33:46,426
So much to be done
before Christmas.

510
00:33:46,427 --> 00:33:47,393
Good day to you.

511
00:33:47,393 --> 00:33:49,393
[BEA] Yes, yes, God speed
to you on your quest.

512
00:33:49,393 --> 00:33:51,154
What's got into you?

513
00:33:56,393 --> 00:33:59,086
We give them away. All of them.

514
00:33:59,293 --> 00:34:01,459
And have the
entire village think

515
00:34:01,460 --> 00:34:03,892
they've got the actual
Christmas Candle?

516
00:34:03,893 --> 00:34:05,126
We won't tell them that.

517
00:34:05,126 --> 00:34:06,625
We'll tell them what
this family has told

518
00:34:06,626 --> 00:34:09,456
them for generations:
to light it and pray.

519
00:34:09,626 --> 00:34:12,993
But this is Gladbury.
People talk.

520
00:34:12,993 --> 00:34:16,592
Edward, somebody':
miracle is in this basket.

521
00:34:16,592 --> 00:34:19,490
And we won't let it go to waste!

522
00:34:22,492 --> 00:34:24,124
[WILLIAM] Charlie,
the reverend has offered

523
00:34:24,125 --> 00:34:26,284
to give you Bible lessons.

524
00:34:27,159 --> 00:34:31,125
[William coughs]

525
00:34:31,125 --> 00:34:32,818
[DAVID]
Hello, Charlie.

526
00:34:33,159 --> 00:34:37,818
Why don't we start with the
Gospel of John chapter one.

527
00:34:42,391 --> 00:34:47,091
"In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,

528
00:34:47,092 --> 00:34:49,758
and the Word was God.

529
00:34:49,758 --> 00:34:52,491
The same was in
the beginning with God.

530
00:34:52,491 --> 00:34:54,624
All things were made by him;

531
00:34:54,625 --> 00:34:59,091
and without him was not any
thing made that was made.

532
00:34:59,091 --> 00:35:03,723
In him was life; and the
life was the light of men.

533
00:35:03,724 --> 00:35:06,124
And the light
shineth in darkness;

534
00:35:06,124 --> 00:35:09,920
and the darkness
comprehend it not."

535
00:35:15,924 --> 00:35:19,723
"And the impediment
to his tongue was loosed,

536
00:35:19,724 --> 00:35:22,451
and he spoke plainly."

537
00:35:24,323 --> 00:35:28,914
Now Charlie, we are going
to loose that tongue of yours.

538
00:35:29,791 --> 00:35:31,450
Open wide.

539
00:35:33,657 --> 00:35:34,986
<i>And...</i>

540
00:35:39,623 --> 00:35:41,146
[DAVID]
Very good.

541
00:35:41,457 --> 00:35:43,116
<i>And...</i>

542
00:35:47,322 --> 00:35:48,288
Louder.

543
00:35:48,756 --> 00:35:52,586
[nonsensical sounds]

544
00:36:03,889 --> 00:36:05,752
Louder.

[knock at window]

546
00:36:29,755 --> 00:36:32,421
Light this and pray, Charlie.

547
00:36:32,422 --> 00:36:35,115
Even if it's only in your heart.

548
00:36:35,321 --> 00:36:37,150
God will hear you.

549
00:36:58,387 --> 00:37:00,253
[DAVID]
Good morning, Mr. Finch.

550
00:37:00,254 --> 00:37:02,087
What brings you to our home?

551
00:37:02,087 --> 00:37:05,087
[DAVID] I understand you
have requested the candle.

552
00:37:05,087 --> 00:37:07,985
I wondered if
I might be of service.

553
00:37:10,654 --> 00:37:12,986
Reverend, meet my family.

554
00:37:12,987 --> 00:37:14,554
My wife, Delilah.

555
00:37:14,554 --> 00:37:15,453
Hello.

556
00:37:15,454 --> 00:37:16,454
[PHINEAS]
Children.

557
00:37:16,454 --> 00:37:18,120
This is my father, Oliver.

558
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,211
[OLIVER]
The new reverend!

559
00:37:20,720 --> 00:37:22,549
[PHINEAS]
Over here, Dad.

560
00:37:22,987 --> 00:37:24,384
Come on.

561
00:37:24,586 --> 00:37:26,285
Don't suppose you
could help the old man

562
00:37:26,286 --> 00:37:28,386
get his hands on the
Christmas Candle?

563
00:37:28,386 --> 00:37:30,252
Maybe put in a word
to the Haddingtons.

564
00:37:30,253 --> 00:37:31,453
[OLIVER]
Hogwash.

565
00:37:31,453 --> 00:37:33,986
The next time I see,
I hope to be

566
00:37:33,987 --> 00:37:36,252
looking at the Good
Lord himself.

567
00:37:36,253 --> 00:37:42,152
In the meantime, I'll walk
by faith, right Reverend?

568
00:37:42,620 --> 00:37:44,142
Right.

569
00:37:47,153 --> 00:37:49,453
Oh thank you.Thank you so much!

570
00:37:49,453 --> 00:37:52,044
It'll be a happy
Christmas after all!

571
00:37:52,952 --> 00:37:57,384
Remember, children,
this is our little secret.

572
00:38:19,419 --> 00:38:23,085
Reverend Richmond! Do come in.

573
00:38:23,085 --> 00:38:26,318
I've been praying for
company, Reverend.

574
00:38:26,318 --> 00:38:29,283
[DAVID] Why waste a prayer
when I can meet the need?

575
00:38:29,284 --> 00:38:33,910
So you'll find me a
knitting companion?

576
00:38:35,584 --> 00:38:39,539
<i>I... shall.</i>

577

[KIDS]
Coming!

578
00:38:47,884 --> 00:38:50,484
Don't waste a candle
on an old man like me.

579
00:38:50,484 --> 00:38:54,575
Oliver, there's no such
thing as a wasted prayer.

580
00:38:57,650 --> 00:39:00,416
[MRS. BICKERTON] My stove
doesn't work, and my husband

581
00:39:00,417 --> 00:39:04,247
ran off and left me all on my
own with a colicky baby.

582
00:39:04,717 --> 00:39:08,316
Oh, and then yesterday
the wall fell down,

583
00:39:08,316 --> 00:39:10,716
and my goat left me, too.

584
00:39:10,717 --> 00:39:14,479
I shall keep an eye out...
for both of them.

585
00:39:18,717 --> 00:39:21,944
The Reverend fixing our roof.

586
00:39:22,216 --> 00:39:25,049
We so desperately need it.

587
00:39:25,050 --> 00:39:30,783
Speaking of which, Agnes, my
dumpling, hadn't you a request?

588
00:39:30,783 --> 00:39:33,874
[DAVID] Ah, yes,
Miss Agnes Chumley.

589
00:39:34,083 --> 00:39:36,708
But I see it is
an unspoken request.

590
00:39:37,382 --> 00:39:38,882
Well, go on.

591
00:39:38,883 --> 00:39:41,644
A silent request
is no request at all.

592
00:39:42,549 --> 00:39:44,749
I'm praying for a husband.

593
00:39:44,749 --> 00:39:46,873
By Easter.

594
00:40:03,249 --> 00:40:04,648
Mrs. Haddington.

595
00:40:04,648 --> 00:40:05,748
What brings you here?

596
00:40:05,748 --> 00:40:06,914
[BEA] I've come to
let you know that

597
00:40:06,915 --> 00:40:08,781
your request has been heard.

598
00:40:08,782 --> 00:40:11,805
Oh what a dear,
but I couldn't accept.

599
00:40:11,982 --> 00:40:15,573
That handsome young
reverend has been helping me.

600
00:40:18,748 --> 00:40:20,407
[BEA]
I see.

601
00:40:31,214 --> 00:40:37,305

It's unnatural.

Welcome everyone.

We light the second candle
of Advent in the love of God.

for Christmas day,

pass that a certain

989
01:09:08,861 --> 01:09:12,027
blind man sat by the
wayside begging,

990
01:09:12,028 --> 01:09:17,187
He cried, "Jesus, thou Son of
David, have mercy on me."

991
01:09:17,394 --> 01:09:19,327
And Jesus said unto him,

01:09:19,327 --> 01:09:22,260
"What wilt though that
I should do unto thee?"

993

The blind man said unto him,

"Lord, that I might
receive my sight."

995

And Jesus said, "Go thy way;
thy faith has made thee whole."

And immediately
he received his sight

Did I not say to you

You would see the glory of God.

place where the
dead man was lying,

1002
01:09:47,526 --> 01:09:50,025

his eyes and said,

"Father, I thank you
that you have heard..."

1004
01:09:52,159 --> 01:09:54,192
And these are written
that you might believe

that Jesus is the
Christ, the son of God,

you might have life.

any good, not in this.

[DAVID] It's one of the
Haddington candles.

1270

[EMILY]
I have three left.

1271
01:30:36,021 --> 01:30:37,816
[DAVID]
Try again.

1272
01:30:50,854 --> 01:30:56,886
[DAVID]Wait! Please,
God, keep Ruth safe.

1273
01:30:56,887 --> 01:30:59,285
Help us find her.

1274
01:31:02,954 --> 01:31:04,886
[DAVID]
Try again.

1275
01:31:05,620 --> 01:31:12,042
Please, God.We need a miracle.

1276
01:31:20,019 --> 01:31:21,849
[EMILY]
What's happening?

1277
01:31:24,986 --> 01:31:27,316
[DAVID]
A miracle is happening.

1278
01:31:31,286 --> 01:31:32,377
[DAVID]
Let's go.

1279
01:31:37,485 --> 01:31:39,281
[DAVID]
Let's go.

1280
01:31:53,852 --> 01:31:55,374
[DAVID]
Ruth!

1281
01:31:55,686 --> 01:31:58,686
Ruth! Thank God we found you.

1282
01:31:58,686 --> 01:32:00,447
[RUTH]
Mr. Richmond.

1283
01:32:01,686 --> 01:32:03,651
You're safe now.

[CHARLIE]
Faster, Uncle, faster!

1286
01:32:18,185 --> 01:32:19,684
[DAVID]
Dear Lady Camdon,

1287
01:32:19,685 --> 01:32:20,785
[WILLIAM]
Charlie...

1288
01:32:20,785 --> 01:32:23,951
[DAVID] Every minister aspires
to leave his mark on a parish,

1289
01:32:23,952 --> 01:32:28,518
but truth be told, Gladbury
has left its mark on me.

1290
01:32:28,518 --> 01:32:30,618
In spite of my best efforts,

1291
01:32:30,618 --> 01:32:33,950
I witnessed many miracles
this Advent season.

1292
01:32:33,951 --> 01:32:36,815
None more remarkable than
my own change of heart.

1293
01:32:37,484 --> 01:32:41,649
If you will have me, I will be
honored to remain in Gladbury,

1294
01:32:41,650 --> 01:32:43,350
for many Christmases to come.

1295
01:32:43,351 --> 01:32:44,384
[DAVID] [to couple]
Congratulations.

1296
01:32:44,384 --> 01:32:47,838
[DAVID]Your miracle man,
David Richmond.

1297
01:32:49,051 --> 01:32:52,108
Ah, the Reverend Richmond.

1298
01:32:52,817 --> 01:32:54,216
Happy Christmas.

1299
01:32:54,216 --> 01:32:56,307
Happy Christmas to you.

1300
01:32:57,383 --> 01:32:59,549
I don't quite know what to say,

1301
01:32:59,550 --> 01:33:02,016
except for there's someone
I'd like you to meet.

1302
01:33:02,016 --> 01:33:03,845
[ELEANOR]
Let me take that.

1303
01:33:05,849 --> 01:33:08,149
[BEA] But you knew
about this all along?

1304
01:33:08,150 --> 01:33:10,383
I had an inkling, but I didn't
know for sure until

1305
01:33:10,383 --> 01:33:13,315
Ruth confirmed
Thomas was the father.

1306
01:33:23,816 --> 01:33:25,509
Are you ready?

1307
01:33:27,849 --> 01:33:30,679
[DAVID] Come,
meet your grandchild.

1308
01:33:31,816 --> 01:33:37,839
Ruth, this is Mr. and Mrs.
Haddington,Thomas' parents.

1309
01:33:38,149 --> 01:33:40,172
I hardly know what to say.

1310
01:33:46,548 --> 01:33:48,776
He has your eyes.

1311
01:33:49,381 --> 01:33:51,347
Have you named him?

1312
01:33:51,648 --> 01:33:54,341
I'd like to name
him after my father.

1313
01:33:54,782 --> 01:33:56,873
He looks like an Edward.

1314
01:33:58,481 --> 01:34:00,606
Isn't that a fine name?

1315
01:34:01,281 --> 01:34:02,770
May I?

1316
01:34:12,681 --> 01:34:14,477

Our grandson.

Yes;

1321
01:34:50,314 --> 01:34:53,473
I was hoping that we might
spend Christmas together.

1322
01:34:54,880 --> 01:34:57,368
Your first
Christmas in Gladbury.

1323
01:34:58,147 --> 01:34:59,874
And your last.

1324
01:35:01,047 --> 01:35:04,013
Gladbury has a funny
way of keeping people.

1325
01:35:04,513 --> 01:35:08,673
I used to mind it.
I don't anymore.

1326
01:35:22,212 --> 01:35:26,974
Forgive me.The moment
seemed providential.

1327

[DAVID] Does this mean
I'll be seeing you
