A Wreath That Counts The Waiting

 Do you know there is an Advent Wreath? With candles. This one is in front of a church in our neighborhood. It is huge and splendid.

  


“A circle that glows with waiting.”

We always have an advent wreath in our church, but I've never seen one outside or one this large. It's beautiful!

We have an Advent display both at church and in our home. This is certainly a lovely one, Ginny!

Oh yes, an Advent wreath is a huge part of Christmas in the Catholic church. There are 4 candles within it and one candle is lit each week until all 4 are burning bright right before the Christ Child's birth. Most Catholic families have their own personal Advent wreath at home. Very significant & a very beautiful part of Catholic heritage. :-) Love, Andrea xoxo

I'm so glad to see this huge Advent wreath.
I always have a small one on the dining table from the first to the fourth Sunday of Advent, and then it's replaced by the Christmas tree.
Sending you warm greetings and all the best.
