“We light two candles tonight, two candles for hope and joy”.

In Norway we light a candle every Sunday through Advent. A Norwegian writer, Inger Hagerup, has written a poem we read while lighting it. Each Sunday a new verse. This tradition has been with me since I was a child. Lighting the Sunday Advent Candle has been something I’ve looked much forward to growing up, and it’s been increasing the enthusiasm and excitement for Christmas. I took it very seriously as a young girl, lighting these candles for hope, joy, yerning and peace. And in the polarized world of today, as a grown woman, I find it even more meaningful. To stop for a second, give thanks for what I have, and light a candle for all that is good. | Posted on 09/Dec/2018 20:16:26
