First day of Advent

Germany

November 28, 2021 5:26am CST

Today is the first day of Advent here in Germany. I hope everyone has a wonderful first Advent. The Advent tradition is a religious celebration in preparation for the arrival of “Advent” of the Christ Child. In Germany, we set up an Advent wreath on the first Advent Sunday (the fourth before Christmas) to start off the Advent season. A typical Advent wreath has four candles, one for each Advent Sunday leading up to Christmas Eve. Do you celebrate Advent? How do you celebrate it? Take care.
