advent candle
December devotional light
An advent candle is one of a set of candles used in Christian tradition to mark the four weeks leading up to Christmas.
Typically arranged in a wreath, one candle is lit each Sunday of Advent, with a fifth candle sometimes added for Christmas Day itself.
The ritual counts down the season while symbolizing the approach of light into darkness.
