About Advent

Advent marks the four weeks before Christmas, a season of patient waiting and growing anticipation. Each Sunday a new candle is lit on the evergreen wreath, the flickering flame a small, steady promise in the dark. The colors of the season, violet, deep purple, and the rose-pink of the third Sunday, carry their own quiet language of hope, penitence, and joy drawing near.
