The lighting of the Advent wreath during the Advent season is a
Christian ceremony which has come down to us from about the time of Martin
Luther. As before the birth of Christ the light of prophecy concerning His
advent and His redemptive work became brighter and brighter, so the nearer we
come in the church year to the feast of His nativity, the greater the amount of
light from the Advent wreath. This ceremony is helpful for recalling,
discussing, and teaching the significance of Advent.
Paul H.D. Lang
