You must be referring to the advent wreath. Some places around the world place 4 candles on the wreath. First candle is lit fourth week before Christmas. Two candles are lit third week before Christmas. Three candles are lit two weeks before Christmas. All four candles are lit the week of Christmas.

Christians recognize Jesus Christ as the promised Messiah and the Son of the living God. God is light and Jesus Christ brought light into a dark hopeless world. Since Christmas is the holiday used to celebrate the birth and arrival of Jesus Christ, the candles on the advent wreath signify the light Jesus Christ brought into the world.

At Luke 22:19 Jesus commanded his apostles to "Keep doing this in remembrance of me." Later the apostle Paul also confirmed that Christians were to keep the memorial observance at 1 Corinthians 11:20-26.Source Material: "The Watchtower" February 15, 2003 issue.

The arrival of the Duke and his lords disrupts the natural order of the woods, leading to deforestation and the displacement of wildlife as they impose their will on the landscape for their own enjoyment. This disturbance often results in the degradation of the ecosystem, showcasing a disregard for the balance of nature. While their actions may be justified by a desire for power and control, they raise ethical questions about humanity's responsibility to protect the environment. Ultimately, such interference can be seen as wrong, as it prioritizes human pleasure over the well-being of the natural world.
