The first week of Advent the stones and crystals appear and the humble stablewith a path leading the way for Mary and Joesph.
The second week of Advent and plants appear on the Altar in celebration of plants
The third week animals appear on the Advent altar
in honor of the animals we share this world with our friends.
The fourth week of Advent and people appear in symbol of the three shepherds
humble men close to the land caring for animals,
And The three Kings appear symbols of power and wisdom
bearing gifts.
New Life a child is born A promise of all that can be,Our symbol of family.
Everyone gathers round to see and greet the new born Kingbringing gifts to celebrate.
Celebrating life and loved ones and friends our gatherings.
And who is this woman ?(Baboushka)
from our beautiful russian folktale book
searching for the Christ child.
The beautiful Angelwho watches over our Altar for Christmas
with a golden star hanging above her.
The Magic of christmas,,,,,
The crowning of the year and celebrating life and family
Advent
focusing inwardly at home the beginnings of christmas,
Mary and Joesph appear on the seasons altar and start their journey
we snuggle up together in the evening and start reading our advent stories
First week the rocks and crystals appear on the advent altar
Second week is plants
Third week animals
Fourth week people
The excitement builds as the children place all the treasures on the advent altar
and the christmas scene is created.
Each Sunday we light a candle on our Advent wreath
which creates a special moment of reverence.
Each sunday we also hang a angel on our christmas hanging
bringing the beauty of angels before us.
The Advent Angels gathering in a circleAs the days end we add another star to our ribbon which counts
the days passing until christmas day
when the christmas candle appears which we light on
our special dinner table.
After Christmas Day the angels come and guide as to the new year .
PEACE,BEAUTY,LOVE TO ALL AND OUR BEAUTIFUL WORLD
