Advent is the season
Leading up to Christmas—
Jesus was born of Mary
In a stable far from here.
We use the Advent candle
To remind us of His birth—
There are four Advent Candles
Plus one large one in the middle.
Candles are lit each week,
First one, then two, three and four—
The children are excited
When they see the large one lit.
It’s coming close to Christmas,
And next week we light two—
Week three we light the third,
And kids can count that far.
Four candles burning bright
Proclaims the Christmas week—
When carols we all sing,
Rejoice, Jesus the Savior is born.

For
Christians, the Christmas candle also signifies Jesus as being the
light of the world. In many cultures the Christmas candle is said to
represent victory of good over evil or light over darkness.
The Advent season for 2010 begins on November 28th.
