Advent Wreath
The Advent Wreath is prepared and blessed on the first Sunday of Advent. This is a long standing custom in Europe. It is made from holly and evergreen leaves in the form of a circle with four candles representing each week. And one candle representing Christ. The circle reminds us of eternity which has no beginning or end. One candle is lit for each Sunday in Advent.
1st CANDLE (purple): The candle of hope:
2nd CANDLE (purple): The Candle of preparation:
3rd CANDLE: (Pink): The candle of joy:
4th CANDLE: (purple): The candle of Love
