Advent Wreaths Are a Great Way to Get Into the Holiday Spirit
Advent wreaths are a great way to celebrate your faith. Although they are part of the Lutheran tradition, advent wreaths have spread to other Christian denominations. They help keep your home festive, promote the holiday spirit, and remind you of your faith. Although advent wreaths are usually made of an evergreen wreath with five candles, there are other varieties of this concept as well. The lighting of the candles is symbolic and faith-affirming. Putting one in your house, even if you are not Christian, can brighten up your home, and make it more festive for the holiday season, since many non-Christians celebrate Christmas without the religious aspect. The candle that is generally designated The Christ candle can be lit to celebrate Christmas, whether or not you are celebrating Jesus's birth. Wreaths are festive and mood-lifting, and can be used for secular purposes or religious ones.
