Advent candle
An advent candle is a special candle that helps people countdown to Christmas. It's kind of like having a countdown to your birthday or a special holiday.
The candle has four different parts, each representing a week leading up to Christmas. The first week is purple, the second week is also purple, the third week is pink, and the fourth week is purple again.
Every Sunday during the weeks before Christmas, people light a different part of the candle in church or at home. Then they say prayers or sing songs to remember the special things about Christmas and how important it is to be kind to others.
As they light each part of the candle, it helps them see that Christmas is getting closer and they can feel more and more excited about it. By the time the last part of the candle is lit, it means Christmas is almost here! And that's when you know it's time to celebrate with family and friends, give each other presents and be happy together.
