Ornament #1 of 4: 1st Week of Advent (HOPE)

Our square violet ornament for the First Week of Advent features an Advent wreath on the front atop a pattern of white diagonal stripes containing the word HOPE. Hope is the theme of the week. A heartfelt sentiment appears on the back. + Front: The Advent wreath is made of evergreens and holly with one violet candle being depicted as lit. In actual practice, additional candles—two violet and one pink—would be customarily lit on subsequent Sundays. Such candles are pictured on additional ornaments. The background here is violet (or light purple or lilac). Violet 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. + Back: A wish for HOPE that can be personalised.
