As we are now in the season of Advent (Dictionary definition: The arrival of an important person), we celebrated on Sunday with the lighting of our first candle on our Advent wreath. In the coming weeks we light candles, one each Sunday, to represent the different aspects of the wreath: hope, peace, joy, and love. And the 5th, White, candle, lit on Christmas eve/Day represents the birth of Christ.

Advent wreath meaning:
The circular shape of the Advent wreath symbolizes God’s infinite love for us – it is never-ending, just like the true Light of the World, Jesus, who leads us into eternal life with Him. The materials of the Advent wreath similarly lead us to reflect on the everlasting nature of God; traditionally, Advent wreaths have been made of evergreen leaves, such as pine or fir, which maintain their green color beyond the season in which they are collected.
