Wholesale Wooden Advent Candle Ring

Participate in the candle lighting tradition of Advent and create a Christmas tradition you and your family will cherish for many years to come with this beautiful, timeless, wood candle ring. A tradition practiced worldwide, the first Advent wreath and candles were used in Germany in 1839. There, a Lutheran minister who took care of orphaned children made a wreath out of a wheel and placed twenty white candles and four red candles on it. A white candle was lit each weekday, while a red candle was lit each Sunday in the four weeks leading up to Christmas. Eventually, this idea spread, and the traditional Advent wreath with one candle for each Sunday of the Advent season (and optionally, a Christ candle at the center to be lit on Christmas Eve) was born. The Advent wreath is a circle that has no beginning and no end, reminding us that God always has been and always will be. Each of the candles is symbolic and encourages us to remember the first coming of Christ and look forward to His Second Coming in a unique way. The candles represent hope, peace, joy, and love. The optional fifth candle is called the Christ candle and represents Jesus. Advent begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas. On that Sunday, the hope candle is lit. On the second Sunday, both the hope and peace candles are lit, and this pattern continues through the Advent season. (For a detailed outline of when to light each candle, see pages xx–xxi of Joy of Every Longing Heart.)
