Advent
The third candle of Advent symbolizes Joy. As we continue to approach Christmas Day, our joy grows more and more. The third candle takes us back to the joyful anticipation of the shepherds who journeyed to see Jesus in Bethlehem, even before the wise men.
The fourth Candle, called the Angel’s Candle,symbolizes Love and the message of God’s love that the angels announced at Christ’s birth.
At St Andrew’s School, we celebrate and enter into the spirit of Advent through four student-led liturgies during the final weeks of the school term. The liturgies will take place as follows in the School Hall commencing at 8.45 a.m.
All members of our School Community are encouraged to attend and join the students at these liturgies.
