| Ajoutée par kheidtmann, 27 Nov 2020 The Advent wreath, or Advent crown, is a Christian tradition that symbolizes the passage of the four weeks of Advent. It is an evergreen wreath with four candles, one for every sunday of Advent. Advent wreaths are circular, representing God's infinite love, and are usually made of evergreen leaves, which represent the hope of eternal life brought by Jesus Christ. In addition the four candles represent the light of God coming into the world through and each of them can be attributed its own significance as well; they may symbolize the Christian concepts of hope (week one), peace (week two), joy (week three) and love (week four). Origin: Johann Hinrich Wichern, a Protestant pastor in Germany and a pioneer in urban mission work among the poor, was the inventor of the modern Advent wreath in the 19th century. During Advent, children at the mission school "Rauhes Haus", founded by Wichern in Hamburg (Germany), would ask daily if Christmas had arrived. In 1839, he built a large wooden ring made out of an old cartwheel with 20 small red and 4 large white candles. A small candle was lit successively every weekday and Saturday during Advent. On Sundays, a large white candle was lit. The custom gained ground among Protestant churches in Germany and evolved into the smaller wreath with four candles known today. Roman Catholics in Germany began to adopt the custom in the 1920s, and in the 1930s it spread to North America. | |||
