Advent wreath and Nursery promises

Lesson: Religious education

Class: Miss Wilson - Nursery Year: 2017 - 2018

The Nursery children were delighted to find out about the  Advent wreath -  a popular Catholic custom that originated in Germany. They found out that the wreath consists of four candles (three purple, signifying penance, and one rose, signifying joy), surrounded by evergreen branches which represents God's everlasting love. 

The light of the candles signifies the light of Christ, Who will come into the world at Christmas.

The children also thought carefully how they could be kind and helpful and made special promises which they placed on our Christmas tree.
