Second Sunday of Advent
This Sunday is the second Sunday of Advent. We light the second purple candle, typically called the "Bethlehem Candle." This candle symbolises faith; reminding us of Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem.
Here is a short clip explaining advent in a child friendly way. It is worth a look, to remind us of the true purpose of Advent.
