The advent of adventus Redemptoris ( arrival of the Redeemer 41., is the initial period of the liturgical year of the Christian Church which includes the 4 weeks leading up to Christmas. It is a time of hope for the Christian believers in that recall the birth of Christ, though connoisseurs say that Christ was not born on the winter solstice, but in spring. But this is another matter. The advent wreath is a central European pre-Christian symbol consisting of a wreath of pine or FIR, decorated with candles, which expresses the desire for the rebirth of life, off in the winter, through the cult of the Sun. The Christians adopted this symbolism by applying to Cristo-Dios.
