Prima Domenica di Avvento - Dipinto di Dino Carbetta
“First Sunday of Advent - Painting by Dino Carbetta” …
“Lord our God, we praise you for your Son, Jesus Christ: He is Emmanuel, the hope of the peoples, He is the wisdom that teaches and guides us, He is the Savior of every nation. Lord God, let your blessing come upon us as we light the candles of this wreath. May the wreath and its light be a sign of Christ’s promise to bring us salvation. May He come quickly and not delay. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.” (First Advent Candle/Sunday: Hope) “Once in our world, a stable had something in it that was bigger than our whole world.” – C.S. Lewis It is only fitting that the first candle on the Advent wreath represents Hope – the first Sunday of Advent not only leads us to anticipate the birth of Christ but celebrate the beginning of a new liturgical season as well. The first candle is purple, the primary color of Advent and a color symbolizing royalty. Sometimes called the “Prophecy Candle,” the first candle harkens us back to Isaiah’s foretelling of the birth of Christ and all of the promises God gave us in the Old Testament that the birth of Jesus would fulfil. This Advent, light the first candle on Sunday, November 27, 2022. (The Four Advent Candles) As a Christian tradition, the wreath holds the four Advent candles. The candles represent Jesus coming as the light in the darkness. One candle is lit each Sunday until all four candles are lit. As Christmas draws nearer, each candle brings a slightly greater light into the darkness. The four candles of Advent represent the four Sundays of Advent, and they respectively symbolize hope, peace, joy, and love. In some homes and parishes, people will also light the fifth candle on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day to represent the birth of Jesus; when added to the Advent wreath, is typically white and larger than the other candles and is placed in the center of the wreath.
