Advent is an ancient celebration designed to help prepare the heart for the anniversary of Jesus’ birth. German worshippers introduced the advent wreath in the 16th century. Each of the four candles on the Advent wreath symbolizes a special meaning. The first candle is the candle of hope while the other three symbolize love, joy and peace. Therefore, our focus will be on the biblical meaning of hope. As Christians, we have every reason to be hopeful about our future, despite COVID, doomed businesses and anything else the world might throw our way.
