Maranatha Tie #1 of 4 for Advent (1st Week: HOPE))

Wearing a Saints_Aplenty Advent necktie not only makes a fashion statement but a profession of faith! Our violet tie for the First Week of Advent features the Aramaic phrase Maranatha (“Come, Lord”) in bold capital letters running vertically down the blade (the part of the tie that shows from knot to tip) atop a pattern of white diagonal stripes containing the word Hope. Hope is the theme of the week. At the necktie’s tip, there is an Advent wreath made of evergreens and holly with one violet candle lit. Violet (or light purple or lilac) is the liturgical colour of the pre-Christmas season, symbolising repentance, reflection, preparedness, and the royalty of Jesus as King of Kings. + Image Credits: Black and white Advent wreath AI-generated by mimicoloringdesigns via Pixabay, modified and colourized by Saints_Aplenty; bow by Elionas also via Pixabay.
