 The word “advent” is derived from the Latin word “adventus”, which means “coming” – which refers to the coming of Christ.

The advent wreath;  an evergreen wreath with four candles, sometimes with a fifth, white candle in the center. 

Some Advent wreaths include a fifth, Christ candle which is lit on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day

The four candles of Advent represent the four Sundays of Advent, and they respectively symbolize hope, peace, joy, and love.

The third candle is pink and symbolizes joy. It is called the “Shepard's Candle,” and is pink because rose is a liturgical color for joy.

Prompt:  to write a rhyming recipe

Sorrel is a traditional Christmas drink here in Trinidad $Tobago 🇹🇹

My Sorrel Recipe

The sorrel in lbs weigh;

The water in litres may,

Long for the added sugar in cups.

Twist of orange peel, grains of clove, stick of cinnamon will cause no mix-ups,

And Rum is (optional) measured in cups.
