NOV. 28, 2021 BEGINS ADVENT
What does it mean?
The circle is a symbol of eternity and the never-endingness of God, and the evergreen is a symbol of eternal life and the never-changingness of God. Tertullian in the third century wrote to the Christians of his day: "You are a light of the world; a tree ever green." Children love to learn by symbols.
Meaning and colors:
First Week of HOPE: Prophet Candle (Purple)
Second Week of PEACE: Bethlehem Candle (Purple)
Third Week JOY: Shepherd Candle (Pink)
Four Week LOVE: Angel Candle (Purple)
The emphasis is on our longing, our need — not only for the great graces of the feast of His Nativity, for the renewing in our hearts of the mystery of His birth — but our need to be ready for the glorious moment of His Second Coming.
Activity for Kids:
Prepare an Advent Wreath with paper or using a donut and birthday candles. Each kid bring home the devotion to prepare during Advent.
