Today Kakano 1, 2 and 3 celebrated Advent with a liturgy.
We learned some interesting things about Advent and the Advent Wreath.
- Advent is the time before Christmas. It begins four Sundays before Christmas day.
- Advent means 'coming' in Latin. we prepare for the coming of Jesus.
- The Advent wreath is a circle - there is no beginning or end to God's love in the world.
- The first candle is purple. It is called the Prophecy Candle. It is for hope. Jesus is our hope.
- The second candle is purple. It is called the Bethlehem Candle. It is for peace. Jesus reaches out and brings peace to the world.
- The third candle is pink. It is called the Shepherds Candle. It is for joy. We think about the joy in the world with Jesus birth.
- The fourth candle is the final purple candle. It is called the angel candle. It reminds us of the angels words "Peace on Earth and goodwill to Men"
- The white candle goes in the middle of the wreath. It is lit on Christmas Eve. It is called the Christ Candle and it is for the life of Jesus.
Thank you, James, Vincent and Dominic for your photography work.
