Advent is the time when we wait and get ready to celebrate Jesus' arrival. A long time ago, there were people who were waiting for something very special. They were hoping for someone to come and help them. The Prophet Isaiah told everyone that a special baby was coming, and his name would be Immanuel. People waited for hundreds of years, when Mary and Joseph were told that they would have a baby named Jesus that would bring hope to the whole world. Go was bringing hope to the world through Jesus.
During Advent, we use a wreath and candles to help us celebrate Jesus' birth. If you have an Advent Wreath, light the candle for hope.
