More about celebrating Advent

What Is Advent?

Advent, celebrated by believers around the world during the four weeks leading up to Christmas, is the season in which we remember Christ’s coming and anticipate His return. Each week, a special candle is lit representing one of the themes of the season.


Week 1: Hope

Week 2: Peace

Week 3: Love

Week 4: Joy


Then, on Christmas Eve, we light a white candle representing Christ Himself.
