Leave it to a fantastic world-renowned violinist to get us in the mood for the holidays. In this clip, violinist Lindsey Stirling performs, ‘Joy to the World.’

This exciting video starts at a castle with a violinist playing inside. Lindsey is in all green and playing with all of her might. She dances with excitement. 

Suddenly, we see her in white in a forest playing with such happiness. You can tell that she loves her craft. Whether in a castle, on a cobblestone road, or in the woods, she is playing her song and enjoying life. 

We then glimpse her on the edge of the sea in Ireland. She grins and plays her instrument proudly as she plays next to the water. She plays her bridge with such originality and confidence. Her art is unlike any other violinist I have ever seen. She not only plays violin, but she dances professionally while she plays. 

Her smile shines as bright as the song she is playing about the joy of the world, Jesus, who we celebrate at Christmas. The motivational song inspires and uplifts us to celebration and excitement. She puts a Celtic twist on the song. 

This time of the year is a special moment to reflect on the goodness and mercy of God to come down to earth in a manger. Jesus is the greatest joy of our lives. As we listen to this song that is full of energy and happiness, may it point us to the greatest joy, which is only found in knowing Christ.

But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid! For behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people: Today, in the city of David, a Savior has been born to you. He is Christ the Lord! And this will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” Luke 2:10-12
