We have started the Advent season! In Norway, it's a tradition to put up Advent stars and candles on the Sunday closest to November 30, and we’ve joined in by placing them in our windows. It’s so nice walking through the streets of Askim with the warm glow of the stars lighting up the darkness of the Northern night.
In the evenings, we continue our Advent family tradition of singing worship songs, lighting the candles, reading from the Jesus storybook, taking a character from the Advent calendar to add to the nativity scene each day, and praying together. It’s a special time to reflect on the true meaning of Advent and Christ’s coming.
Blessed Advent!
