Advent Season
Over the centuries, the Advent wreath featuring 5 candles has come to represent variations of similar themes. In some churches, one candle is lit each Sunday leading up to Christmas day.
1. The Patriarchs in faith - Hope
2. The Prophets - Faith
3. John the Baptist / Gaudete - Joy
(also for those who are fasting over the period, refreshment day)
4. Mary and Joseph / Annunciation - Love
5. Christmas Day Candle / White
In the arrangement shown above, the background and outer candles are created from brolly fabric and the central one from a piece of cardboard. As I do not have any holly in the garden, I have used the rosemary herb for the circular effect. Furthermore I find rosemary easier to work with as it:
- has a pleasant scent
- is not prickly like the holly
- can be washed and used in teas / cooking / cosmetics afterwards!
