Well, today begins the Advent Season

Today is the first day of a Christian season known has Advent. It is the four Sundays to Christmas. I cannot say all Christian denomination have Advent. However, my denomination known as the United Methodist Church does. It is a season where we prepare for judgment day. There are five candles total. Four outers candles and one candle in the center. Being that this is the season in preparation for Judgement Day, the first candle symbolizes expectation. The second candle symbolizes hope. The third candle symbolizes joy. The fourth candle symbolizes purity. The fifth candle in the center (usually lit on Christmas Eve or day with the other four candles) symbolizes Christ. So, right now, we are just starting the Advent Season, so I wish a happy Advent to all my fellow Christians out there.
