First Sunday in Advent...a late posting

 
Traditionally, the Advent Wreath has four candles, three purple and one rose colored.
Each candle has a special meaning.
The first purple candle, symbolizing Hope, was lit yesterday.
 
 
 
For many Christians, the Advent Wreath
 is our way to celebrate the four weeks,
 leading up to Christmas Day.

  3. I remember the advent wreaths of my childhood fondly. It was always a special moment to light a new candle on Sundays. Somehow I have not continued my mothers tradition. x

    1. I'm just the opposite....I remember the advent wreath always in church...only in the last few years, I have added to the tradition of having one in my home, too.

  4. I always look forward to singing "Oh Come, Oh Come Emanuel" during Advent. Sure enough, we sang it Sunday.
