Welcome to how to make an advent wreath.
Christmas is a special time of year when we remember events of over 2000
years ago, spend time with family and friends, and sometimes get fraught
about what to buy for who!
Advent celebrates the four weeks before Christmas and many people enjoy
making their own advent wreath and lighting an advent candle.
It's a lovely way to get creative before the real rush of Christmas starts and
while you can still enjoy the anticipation of the festive season.
How to make an Advent wreath
Use real holly or evergreen and form into a wreath and purchase a metal 4
ring candle holder and insert the three purple candles and one pink one.
These colours for the candles are traditional - but of course, you can use
whatever you like. The purple colour symbolises the coming of a King - born
as a baby in Bethlehem.
You may wish to add a plain white candle in the centre, to light on Christmas
Day, as well as the surrounding four Advent candles.
Alternatively, you can also get some green florists foam and cut to shape if
necessary. Decorate it with cuttings of fir tree, ivy leaves and other
evergreens from the garden. Carefully push in four candles to the foam -
you'll need to ensure that they are supervised at all times for safety.
Christmas Traditions
The Advent wreath started in Germany as a Lutheran tradition, symbolising
differing things depending on your culture.
The lighting of the Advent candles provides an opportunity to include the
whole family, including the children, in preparing for the Christmas season
and telling the story of what Christmas is really about.
You may wish to take this opportunity to read a few verses from the Bible
relating to the birth of the baby Jesus in Bethlehem - a story that children
never cease to love.
