Advent by Candlelight Resources
CHRISTMAS BEGINS WITH CHRIST ā New 2024 Program
Theyāre everywhere this time of year. We canāt turn on the radio or push our cart through the grocery store without hearing them. They adorn homes and porches and waiting rooms. They pile up beneath our Christmas tree and fill our mailboxes. What are they? They are the traditional sights and sounds and trappings of Christmas: the festive carols, the sparkling lights and glowing candles, the glittering trees and garland, the gifts wrapped in shiny paper, the annual Christmas card.
But where did these Christmas traditions come from? And what do they mean to us today? This Advent by Candlelight program will dig into the origins of our Christmas traditions andāthrough Scripture, story, and songāremind us how these traditions all point to Jesus, the light of the world. After all, heās the whole reason we celebrate. Heās the good news we share with others. Because Christmas begins with CHRIST!
