I think that this is probably my favourite season of all it is the lead up to Christmas I love rather than Christmas itself.
However I am running behind this yer and have yet to make my advent wreath.
Here is a picture of last years to be going on with.
Here is a description of why the 5 candles
Depending on which country you live in or the denomination you belong to, you may see several different versions of the advent wreath. The simplest and most common advent wreath contains five candles, each with a special meaning:
Candle 1 (“The Prophet’s Candle”) is purple, lit during the first week of Advent, and symbolizes hope.
Candle 2 (“The Bethlehem Candle”) is purple, lit during the second week of Advent, and symbolizes peace.
Candle 3 (“The Shepherd’s Candle”) is pink or rose-colored, lit during the third week of Advent, and represents joy.
Candle 4 (“the Angle’s Candle”) is purple, lit during the fourth week of Advent, and represents love.
Candle 5 (“Christ’s candle”) is white, lit on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, and represents the advent child, Jesus.
