Christ prayed to light some candles.

Nowadays, many temples and even families will put a wreath in the future, which is called near ring or near ring. It is a circle or corolla made of evergreen branches. Four candles can be hung on the roof or placed on the table.

The traditional meaning of near circle symbolizes that when the period ends, the true light of Christ will shine on "people sitting in the shadow of darkness and death", and it also symbolizes the eternal existence of God, with no beginning and no end. Christ came to bring us real light so that we can share God's eternal life.

The four candles on the adjacent circle represent the surroundings of the adjacent period. Light one on the first Sunday, two on the second Sunday, three on the third Sunday and all four on the fourth Sunday. With the gradual lighting of candles, it means that the day of Christ's arrival is getting closer and closer.

Of the four candles, two are purple (one is deep and the other is light), one is pink and the other is white. In the tradition of the Catholic church, purple has the meaning of repentance and redemption; Pink symbolizes joy, and white represents holiness, light and peace. Light a dark purple candle in the first week and a light purple candle in the second week, because the theme of the first two weeks is awakening and repentance. Light pink candles on the third Sunday, also known as Happy Sunday. Remind everyone that Christmas is coming, and the real light will come to this world and enter our hearts, so we should celebrate the arrival of light with joy. The last white candle will be lit on the fourth Sunday, symbolizing that Christ will come among us, "Emmanuel"-the Lord is with us.

Prayer and blessing: eternal God, a thousand years is like a day in front of you. But you are willing to exhort us again and again through the mouth of the apostles: "Always be vigilant" and look forward to the "day of salvation". The coming period needs our sincere repentance. Therefore, sanctify this upcoming cycle, and let every day during this period become the day of our salvation. Bless this evergreen wreath, let us strengthen our inner desire for redemption by watching it, and look forward to the arrival of Christ the Savior with great joy. He is God, the eternal king.

Like all etiquette signs, if they can effectively convey their symbolic meaning, then the materials must come from our daily life and environment, so that people can feel the events of life and the vitality of God among us. Therefore, when making the temporary circle, we should use natural materials created by God, such as pine and cypress, to keep it alive and evergreen.
