Advent is next Sunday!
And even though we decorated for Christmas
a little over a week ago,
(yes, we are those kind of Catholics!)
it always seems like the Advent wreath get pushed
to the last minute.
Well not this year!
I ordered this Advent candle making kit from Illuminated Ink just in time to roll our candles this week. We have used this kit in years past and the kids always have a great time making our own candles.
The kit comes with everything you need to make all four candles
as well as a blessing for the wreath and weekly traditional Advent prayers...even in Latin!
I would say this is a good project for children aged 6 and up as the beeswax is a bit tricky at first to roll.
They are perfectly imperfect!
With all the hustle and bustle of the season,
it's nice to take time each night to light a candle,
slow down, read and meditate on what's coming.
To be more mindful of what is important.
The anticipation.
The joy.
It is just what the heart needs.
