When I was a child my mother learnt us a tradition. We had four candles and lit the first on the first sunday of advent, two on the next and so on.
My wife buys large candles, so we have all four of them lit all four sundays up to Christmas. As you see, they will probably not burn down before Christmas.
Lovely tradition.
Yes Sybil. Candlelights spread warmth in the room and the people.
Love your Advent crown as we call it. We have the same tradition over here, our candles are orange this year. I like very much the warm glow in this picture.
This year it is different. My wife used to make very artistic Advent crowns. But everything seem to change when small children take the time – and touch or move all (she) can reach.
