Maranatha Tie #3 of 4 for Advent (3rd Week: JOY)

Wearing a Saints_Aplenty Advent necktie not only makes a fashion statement but a profession of faith! Our pink tie for the Third 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 Joy. Joy is the theme of the week. At the necktie’s tip, there is an Advent wreath made of evergreens and holly with two violet candles and a pink candle lit. Pink (or light rose) is the liturgical colour of joy for Gaudete Sunday. It typifies a shift in mood from the solemn preparation of the first two weeks of Advent to the joyful anticipation of Christmas for the remaining weeks. + 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.
