Chi Rho Christ Candle, 3 x 14"

Advent means "coming" or "arrival." The focus of the entire season is the celebration of the birth of Jesus the Christ in His First Advent and the anticipation of the return of Christ the King in His Second Advent. Thus, Advent is far more than simply marking a 2,000 year old event in history. It is celebrating a truth about God, the revelation of God in Christ whereby all of creation might be reconciled to God. That is a process in which we now participate, and the consummation of which we anticipate. Scripture reading for Advent will reflect this emphasis on the Second Advent, including themes of accountability for faithfulness at His coming, judgment on sin and the hope of eternal life. Our Christ candle now features a water transfer decal applique. This new style of decal is applied and then coated with a layer of wax, ensuring a wrinkle-free and damage-free image. Candle is made of wax and measures 3 x 14 inches tall.
