Advent wreath

The advent wreath is a special circle made out of green branches and sometimes decorated with other things like pinecones, berries or ribbons. It is used to help us remember and prepare for the birth of Jesus, which we celebrate on Christmas.

The advent wreath has four candles, one for each week of Advent. Advent is the time when we wait and get ready for Christmas. The first candle is lit on the first Sunday of Advent, the second on the second Sunday of Advent, and so on, until all four candles are lit on the fourth Sunday of Advent.

Each candle has a different meaning. The first one is the candle of hope. It reminds us of the hope we have in Jesus and how he brings light into the darkness. The second one is the candle of love. It reminds us of the love of God and how he loves us. The third candle is the candle of joy. It reminds us that Christmas is a time of happiness and that Jesus brings us joy. The fourth and final candle is the candle of peace. It reminds us of the peace that comes from knowing Jesus.

So, the advent wreath is a special way to remember and prepare for Christmas. It helps us think about the hope, love, joy, and peace that come from Jesus.
