Celebrations around the world
The Advent Wreath and Calendar
Germany and around the world · the four weeks of Advent
The Advent wreath and calendar count down the days to Christmas, keeping watch for the coming of Christ. Born in Germany, they turn the whole season of waiting into a daily act of hope as the light grows.
How it is celebrated
A candle on the wreath is lit each of the four Sundays of Advent, and a small door on the calendar is opened each day of December until Christmas.
In the Word
The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.Isaiah 9:2 (KJV)
One family, in every land
Across the world the church keeps this feast in a thousand ways, but it is one Lord all of it honors. Wherever you are, pray, read the Word, and gather with the family of God on The Living Bread. Free, with no ads, for all people.
