starting the 24 days of advent
dec 1 is the first sunday of advent , so they lit the first candle tonight.

eilidh explanis to crystal that “The first candle symbolizes hope and is called the “Prophet’s Candle.” The prophets of the Old Testament, especially Isaiah, waited in hope for the Messiah’s arrival. lighting this candle opens the period that anticipates Christmas and remembers those who first spoke the promise of the coming Christ child.”
