These pictures on the right may just look like creatively designed key words for Advent, but that’s not all they are. These four pictures can take you into our new digital innovation, Traces of Advent.

We’ve teamed up with Twelve Baskets and Digital Mission to create this fun digital experience, known as augmented reality, for your enjoyment this December. By downloading the free app Aurasma Lite, with your iPhone, iPad, iTouch or Android phone, you can watch four exciting films that use the text of David Adam’s Traces of Glory, simply by holding your device over the images.

For details on how you can join in, visit the Twelve Baskets’ website here or log on to the Traces of Advent website.

Let us know how you get on! You can tweet us @SPCKPublishing or visit our facebook page.
