Today is the second Sunday of Advent, and the lighting of another purple candle.
It is the Bethlehem Candle or the Candle of Preparation.
God kept His promise that a Savior would be born in Bethlehem, and we are to prepare to receive Him into our hearts.

The light from the candles remind us that Jesus is the Light of the World, and we are called to reflect that light in our lives.
I do love the tradition and meaning of the Advent Wreath. And I was looking at all the Christmas lights in our neighborhood the other night and thinking about "the light of the world." Like you, I'm so glad He came to us!
