Advent Season
Over the centuries, the Advent wreath featuring five 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!
