This is to symbolize God's love, which has no beginn- ing and no end. The wreath was laid on a table, and on each of the four Sunday's preceding Christmas, a candle was attached to the wreath and lighted in preparation for Christmas. In many churches, the custom of lighting the candles in the Advent season is a mean- ingful and enriching experience for both the young and old. Children love to participate in this brief ritual, and they begin to sense the meaning of Christh coming to our dark world. And so in the Vanastra Christian Church, they too have placed a wreath and candles. Each Sunday another candle is lit by mother and child. The first candle was lit to remind us of the promise of hope. The second candle was lit to remind us of the gift of love. On the third Sunday the candle reminds all of the joy that came forth into the world because of Jesus' birth. And the fourth candle reminds us of the peace that Christ gives.
