advent wreath

[Lynn]

is there an advent wreath available? I couldn't find one

[CelticGrace]

it should be available soon... Raven usually doesn't put it out 'til Advent actually starts, so should be this weekend.

It's available now, and is in Special Items - Religious.

It's designed to sit on top of the table that you can find in Special Items - Assorted.

ah so you did put it out early. spiffy :D

thank you

I hate to be a stickler, but the order of lighting the candles on the Advent wreath is:
1st Sunday: one purple
2nd Sunday: two purple
3rd Sunday: two purple, one pink
4th Sunday: three purple, one pink

I mention this only because the pink candle has been lit first.

AUGH! People tell me different every year.

I'm using the order from last year.

Is there a website we can refer to that explains this definitively?

I've always heard it the way Catholic Wife said. The pink is always the third candle to be lit.
