The Light Of The World

Candles.
They are one of the no-brainer ones to me.

The single candles people light in their windows.

What started out as an Irish custom,
born in the time when it was against
the law for catholics to
practice their faith,
as a sign to any traveling priests 
that they had found a safe home.
It has become a sign of welcome.
Christ is welcome.

The candles in the Advent Wreath representing
Hope
Preparation
Joy
Love 
Christ.

Jesus is the light of the world.
From that glorious star Lory wrote about to 
this humble little flame.
