Four Sundays before Christmas the Advent period starts. Which makes today the first of those Sundays! And traditionally one candle is lit on the first Advent. Next Sunday it will be two, then three and then four. Until at Christmas you burn all four plus another (bigger) one in the middle.
The Christmas season is upon us!
I've never done the advent candles. Blessing to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteWe lit our Advent Candle at church today. Tho' my husband is a retired pastor he has been asked to fill in at a local (large!)retirement home. So we get to light the candles this month.
ReplyDeleteDanica and JJ lit the candle last night. Whatever. :)
