How beautiful the wreath looked. It has been years since St. Paul's has had a wreath in the santuary. Not sure who to thank for it but thank you for getting the wreath back. It actually felt like a new year in the church and Advent.

I like the Advent wreath too. But I prefer the traditional purple and pink candles. I guess you can have ribbons but it seems we can never just keep things traditional.

It's a rose candle for Gaudate Sunday.
