Advent is the four-week period before Christmas when Christians prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. It begins on November 30 or the nearest Sunday. During Advent, Christians use candles in an Advent crown as reminders - the first candle represents hope, the second peace, the third love, and the fourth joy. Advent marks both the start of the Christian year and the waiting and preparation for Christmas when Christians commemorate Jesus' birth.

The lead up to Christmas
with The candles act as reminders to Christians: The Advent crown The first candle is the candle of 'Hope', so prayers on
this day focus on hope. This candle represents the
'Patriarchs' such as Abraham and David. The second candle is a symbol of God's 'Peace'. This candle reminds Christians of the Prophets who foretold that the Messiah would be born. The third candle represents 'Love' and stands for John the Baptist who baptised Jesus.
