Title: An Advent Wreath tradition Post by: CyrilSebastian on November 29, 2015, 04:56:53 PM One tradition of the Advent wreath is to hang the wreath in the place that the Christmas tree will go.
That way the four lights of Advent blossom into the numerous lights of Christmas. Title: Re: An Advent Wreath tradition Post by: CyrilSebastian on December 03, 2015, 06:57:53 PM A traditional Advent wreath is suspended horizontally from the ceiling.
