Terza Domenica di Avvento - Dipinto di Dino Carbetta
“Third Sunday of Advent - Painting by Dino Carbetta” …
In the sacred tradition of Christianity, the Advent wreath serves as a poignant symbol, cradling the significance of the four Advent candles. These candles, flickering amid darkness, embody the arrival of Jesus as the illuminating light. A ritual unfolds as each candle is kindled every Sunday, a progression towards the culmination of all four candles blazing with radiant warmth. The increasing luminosity symbolizes the approaching Christmas, where the profound truth of Jesus' presence permeates our souls. A particular luminary moment occurs on the Third Advent Candle/Sunday, a celebration of joy known as "Gaudete Sunday." In the angelic proclamation in Luke 2:10-12, the narrative of good news and great joy unfolds. In the city of David, a Savior, the Messiah, is born—a sign for all, wrapped in swaddling clothing and cradled in a manger. This third candle, a manifestation of joy, beckons us into a deeper sense of anticipation and celebration. It invites us to relive the joyous spirit of the shepherds who, with eager hearts, embarked on a pilgrimage to witness the divine spectacle in Bethlehem. Even before the wise men, their anticipation was palpable, and on this Gaudete Sunday, we resonate with their jubilation. Affectionately known as the "Shepherd's Candle," the third luminary is adorned in the hue of joy—pink, a liturgical color that radiates with the vibrancy of celebration. As we approach the 17th of December 2023, the designated day for kindling this symbolic flame, let our hearts be aglow with the joyful anticipation reminiscent of the shepherds of old. In this rendition, I've reimagined and recreated the scene from my album of photographs, capturing the essence of the "Adoration of the Shepherds" at the Vatican Museums' Gallery of the Tapestries. May this artistic interpretation deepen the resonance of joy in your Advent journey, echoing the timeless narrative of hope, anticipation, and jubilation."
