Time's running! Towards our contemplative time, which is heralded with the 1st Advent, always, also this year.
Our Advent Season is already waiting in front of our doors.

Sina, from "The flower Shed" in Castlerock, is offering the "Advent wreath" from the German Pre-Christmas tradition this year, by popular request.

Each wreath is unique and can be made according to individual wishes.

The origins of the German Advent wreath tradition

The origins of the Christian German Advent wreath tradition go back to the 19th century.
In the evangelical “Rauhe Haus” (“Rough House”) in Hamburg - a foundation for the care of children established by Johann Hinrich Wichern in 1833 (evangelical pastor) - Christmas played a major role.
In the run-up to Christmas, the children kept asking the pastor when Christmas would finally be. To anticipate this question and to make it easier for the children to wait, he made a kind of Christmas Calendar in the year 1839.
He took a wagon wheel and attached as many candles to it as there were days from the first Advent to Christmas Eve. He took small candles for the days of the week and 4 large candles for the 4 Sundays of Advent. So, the children always knew how many days were left until Christmas. The wreath also had a nice side effect: the children learned to count easily.

It was only around 1860 that the wreath was also decorated with fir green and became generally accepted in Protestant churches and private households until the beginning of the 20th century. However, only the 4 large candles were used. One for each Sunday in Advent In the year of 1925 a wreath is said to have hung in a Catholic church in Cologne for the first time.
From the time after the Second World War at the latest, it can be found all over the world and in all possible forms.
They all have one thing in common: In contrast to the “Wichern Wreath”, there are only four candles on it - for the Sundays in Advent.
The practical reason why only the 4 Advent Sunday candles are needed is very simple. To use all the candles from the "Wichern wreath", the wreath would have to have a diameter of at least 2 meters. However, you cannot put a cartwheel on the table.

The symbolic of the Advent wreath

It has a circular shape, which knows no beginning and no end, stands for eternity and infinity, in Christian thinking also for the resurrection - and not to forget, for the community.
The four candles on the wreath can be interpreted as the four cardinal points on the globe.
But also, in the philosophical, cabalistic sense as the "half completion".
It is worth remembering the ancient Greek philosophers, the Pre-Socratics, who put it this way: "For if the beginning had an end, then it would not even be the beginning itself".
The green of the fir trees in winter is also a code of hope: during ice and snow, in the cold and dark, new life is preparing. In addition, there is the light in the early winter darkness, which increases in strength from Sunday to Sunday: a telling picture of the expectation of the coming of Christ, the "true light" that shines in the darkness and wants to dwell among us.

Forerunners unrelated to Christianity

Tradition researchers point to a not at all Christian forerunner of the Advent wreath:
In the early Middle Ages, maids and servants could refer to an unwritten law according to which they did not have to work outdoors in the severe winter cold. As a sign of this, the wagon, which was usually used to drive to the fields, was stowed in the barn, one of the wheels was unscrewed and hung on the ridge of the roof or inside the house over the chimney. Because a sun symbol was also seen in the wheel, it was decorated with evergreen branches - as a sign of hope for the return of the sun in spring.
