The Advent wreath, a tradition that comes from Europe
Reader: Reading taken from the Gospel according to Saint Luke.
“In those days, Mary got up and went with haste to the mountainous region, to a city in Judah; He entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth. And it happened that, as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child in her womb leaped for joy; and from where to me that the mother of my Lord comes to me? Because, as soon as the voice of your greeting reached my ears, the child in my womb leaped for joy.
Happy is she who believed that the things that were said to her from the Lord would come true! ” And Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my savior because he has set his eyes on the humility of his servant, for that reason from now on all generations will call me blessed.”
