During the season of Advent, churches who closely follow the liturgical calendar display a wreath in full view of congregants. One of four candles around the circumference of the Advent wreath is lit each week with a scriptural reading to illuminate the themes of hope, peace, joy, and love. A white candle is in the middle and represents Christ and all he brings to the world. (Courtesy photo)
