The four Sundays of Advent symbolize a time of preparation and anticipation for the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ at Christmas. Each Sunday corresponds to a different theme: Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love, representing the spiritual journey towards the coming of Christ. Traditionally, Advent wreaths with candles are used, where each candle lit on the Sundays represents these themes, culminating in the light of Christ on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. This season emphasizes reflection, prayer, and readiness for the Christmas celebration.
