Advent Wreath- The Advent wreath is a Christian
tradition that symbolizes the passage of the four weeks of
Advent. It is a circular candle holder that typically holds five
candles. During the season of Advent one candle on the wreath
is lit each Sunday until all of the candles, including the fifth
candle, are lit on Christmas Day. Each candle represents an
aspect of the spiritual preparation for the celebration of the birth of our Lord, Jesus
Christ. Most Advent wreaths use three colours of candles – purple, pink, and white.
However, some may use blue in place of the purple.
1st CANDLE – (purple) THE PROPHECY CANDLE or CANDLE OF HOPE –We
can have hope because God is faithful and will keep the promises made to us. Our
hope comes from God. “And again,Isaiah says, ‘The Root of Jesse will spring up, one
who will arise to rule over the nations; the Gentiles will hope in him.’ May the God of
hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with
hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 15:12-13)
