Reply to "Advent"

Oh, thank you my friends, for this wonderful thread. It reminds me so much of the traditions of Switzerland, where Advent was very much celebrated and the atmosphere was deeply felt.

Swiss people love the decorations so much, especially the one with the four candles. I have a Swiss friend who lives in Abu Dhabi now (after having been in Rome for several years), he is a Brother of the Order of St. Francis, he assists the Bishop there (who is also Swiss, they had known each other since college). He told me that there were visits from Germany and the accompanying priest had brought all the necessary to create the famous crown of the Advent. He had filled his luggage with Pine branches from Germany! They were able to create ten crowns. Just to show how deeply the traditions are rooted ...

Love and enjoy all a wonderful Advent.
