Figure 1.--Here we a German Adventskranz. |
|
Another German tradition is the Adventskranz (advent wreath). There are 4 candles on it. Every Advent sunday a candle is lighted. So on the 4th of Advent all candles are lit. An Adventskranz can be seen in the Adventskalnder archived on HBC. In the drawing you can only see two of the candles. A HBC reader has sent us an image.
