Messiah is He whom all human hearts seek ...

Interesting how many cultures have a similar tradition ... from the ancient Israelites to the farmers of the Netherlands, a large horn is blown as a call to worship!  I found this image of the Dutch custom ... Prior to Christmas, a custom known as Midwinter Horn Blowing is still practiced in parts of the rural east, which starts on Advent Sunday and continues until Christmas Eve. At dusk, farmers take long horns made from elder trees and blow them while standing over wells, which lends an eerie sound to the call, which is an announcement of the coming Christ.

Cool, hmmm?
