ADVENT WEEK ONE: Advent, from the Latin word meaning to come, is a special time when Christians prepare themselves mentally and spiritually for Jesus; to come into the world, to remember the birth of Christ and to recognize the power of His love throughout history and for the future. The Advent wreath is in the form of a circle, having no beginning and no end, symbolizing Gods everlasting love. The evergreens represent eternal life. The violet candles symbolize humility and preparation. The pink Candle is a symbol of joy. The white candle represents Christ in all his purity. THE PROPHECY CANDLE reminds us of the prophets who expected and predicted the coming of the Messiah, who would bring peace, love and salvation to the world, and also predicted His return. Isaiah 9:6-7
