Advent wreaths are a tradition in many homes and churches during the season of Advent – the four weeks leading up to Christmas. It is during Advent that we not only look forward to Christmas and celebrating the birth of Christ, but that we also prepare ourselves and our hearts for His second coming. Traditionally a candle on the Advent wreath is lit each week along with the previous weeks’ candles, and usually accompanied by a devotion<\/a>, song, or prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
