We know the Advent wreath helps us keep vigil as we get closer to Christmas. But it has symbolism beyond its four candles. The circular shape represents God’s infinite love. The evergreen leaves represent the hope of eternal life offered by Christ. And even the flames of the candles represent the light of God coming into the world through the birth of Jesus. Prayerfully ponder these mysteries the next time you see our Advent wreath at your local parish.
