advent

And this weekend is the start of Advent it is a time where we light a few candles and at the end someone puts the baby in the nativity scene (we catholics put the baby in after it is born, not before like others). Ahh the ignorant bliss i can sit back, stand when told, sit when told, kneel when told, kiss the ring and go home. Right... wrong, you see there is a little thing called Gods plan and what was gods plan? well so far it's meet a hot chick, hot chick gets pregant, children come along and children ask questions. Now the grandparents say that it is so much easier now days, back in our day... blah blah... whinge whinge.. You see you have it easy, all you have to do is google and all the answers are there at your finger tips. And so there 2 coloring sheets were found, so we could start teaching about advent, there are 4 candles and the white one but that does not count till the end. Three are purple, one is pink, the white one which goes in the middle on the 25 dec, this goes around a green wreath. Two purple are lit first, then the pink one on the 3rd week and the final purple one on the 4 week. The white one gets lit on the 25 of december to signify the birth, each candle has a meaning that you are too focus on each week. I would tell you what these were as they were printed on the candles to be coloured in, the problem is it was turned into a paper airoplane and number 2 hid has relocated it to a top secret loction only known to itself, that even james bond may struggle finding. But if you want to know what the meanings are google it.
p.s. we don't kiss the ring anymore, apparently things like coldsores and hep b can remain on the surface of the ring and this is why we don't kiss it. I do not find that one on google by the way, it was told tome by a bishop.

  1. You should have done Hanukah with us; lots of pretty candles & all different colours too ~ with meanings! Next time we do a festival I think you should come. Bring the kids. Stuff your faces & rejoice in the Lord. ☺
