Beautiful. It is the most wonderful time of the year. So much magic. The lighting of the Advent candles harkens back to the days when Mary and Joseph would light the 8 candles of the Hanukkah menorah... waiting for their Son, the Messiah to be born. They would name him Yeshua In Hebrew a Word that means Salvation. At this time in those days the Magi (magicians) were travelling to bring him Gifts of Gold, and Frankincense and Myhrr... so much symbolism, so much meaning in every word, in every letter.... Peace on Earth, Good will to all.
