History of Advent Wreaths

Our Advent Wreath

Advent Wreaths have origins in traditions of Scandinavia, where in the middle of winter people lit candles on wheel-shaped bundles of evergreen. By the Middle Ages, Christians adapted this tradition as part of a spiritual preparation for Christmas.

An advent wreath traditionally contains four candles; three purple and one rose. Each part of the wreath has it's own meaning. The evergreen circle signifies continuous life, the three purple candles symbolize hope, peace, & love, the rose candle symbolizes joy, and The light from the flame signifies Christ, the Light of the world.
