Made the Advent Candle for our Church.

Indeed.  We are extremely spoiled.  Its essentially a replica copy of a medieval high German church, I can't recall which one though.  The statue is German though, 17th or 18th century.

I double wicked the white candle as it is supposed to represent Christ and is lit on Christmas night, so I wanted it to appear extra bright compared to the outer 4.  The two wicks are 7/8 inch apart which usually mean you get a merged triangular flame and a steady burn without any flickering.

Brilliant!

I like this 45 degree design.  Allows people in the pew to see the decorated wreath.



I might borrow that design next year

Hey, neighbour! Do you go to St. Mary's in Wausau or the one in Milwaukee?

Wausau.  Although I do darken the doors of St. Patrick's in GB on occasion.

Is Patrick Burkhardt still the MD there?

The name doesn't ring a bell.  Sorry

Music Director (Organist) in case MD means doctor to you.  The Institute around here publishes the MD's name on the front of the bulletin.

[drummerboy]

Ah.  Gotcha.  I've never scene the MD's name on their bulletin.

What do you think of the concept of a Christmas Crib Advent candle combination?

The slanted wreath above gave me the idea.  You could have a cave opening in a 45' cliff with the crib inside lit by LED bulbs (battery powered), then integrate the candles into the hillside with the white one above the cave.

Crib would be empty (maybe an OX and Ass in it) until Christmas Eve, when Mary and Joseph would arrive on a donkey (was the donkey the Ass or were there both an Ass and a Donkey?  I am not sure.  Then Shepherds before midnight mass and then Jesus put in afterwards.

I'm left wondering if there are any decent Catholic prayers one says with the Advent wreath throughout the season.  I know Bishop Sheen had a book but they were meditations.
