CIRCULAR LETTER FROM THE OBISPO MAXIMO
No. 07, Series of 2021

To : ALL BISHOPS AND CLERGY OF THE IGLESIA FILIPINA INDEPENDIENTE
On : NOTES ON MAKING THE ADVENT WREATH

As Advent is about to commence, and as parishes and missions around the Church will start to put up Advent wreath as a dominant symbol of the season, we issue this Circular Letter to guide our congregation in doing so. This is in recognition of the diverse ways that Advent wreath is presented, which we hope the following notes will reinforce its value as among the liturgical symbols.

[1] That the Advent wreath is a Christian tradition that symbolizes the passage of the four weeks of Advent in the liturgical calendar of the Church. And so Advent wreath becomes an important liturgical feature.

[2] That since signs and symbols are very important in the liturgy, there is a need to give emphasis on these symbols of the wreath: [1] it must be circle [to symbolize the eternity of God and the everlasting life we find in Christ, as circle has no beginning or end]; [2] the wreath must be evergreen itself [to signify continuous life in God as wrought by Christ]; and [3] it must have four [4] candles (3 violet or purple and 1 pink) to represent the four weeks. 


[3] That three of the candles are violet or purple because it is the liturgical color of Advent season to signify a time of prayer and meditation, self-examination and penance, and sacrifice and preparation. It is now a common practice that Advent wreath includes a fifth, white candle place at the center, which is the Christ candle which is lit at Christmas Eve or Christmas Day and keep lighted through the Christmas season. 


[4] That Advent wreath shall not be adorned with Christmas lights or any Christmas decoration so as not to confuse it with Christmas because it is an Advent symbol. And since it is a wreath or crown, its being a circle must be highlighted. Advent wreath cannot therefore be in a form of a tree nor a garden landscape, neither a series of bamboo poles where the candles are held.

[5] That starting with the First Sunday of Advent, the first candle is lighted and the other candles are lit on the corresponding subsequent Sunday until the last Sunday of Advent. These candles are lighted clock-wise, with the pink candle as the third. It is not uncommon these days to have the candles named to symbolize the virtues of hope, love, joy and peace. 


[6] That as liturgical sign, the first candle, which is violet or purple, intends to symbolize hope. It is also called as the “Prophecy Candle” to recall the prophecy of Prophet Isaiah about the birth of Christ and kindle the messianic expectation. The second candle, also violet or purple, serves to represent faith. It is also called the “Bethlehem Candle” to remind the journey of Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem, a journey made and prompted by faith. The third candle is pink to symbolize joy. It is also called the “Shepherd’s Candle,” and it is pink because rose is a liturgical color for joy. The third Sunday of Advent is Gaudete Sunday; “gaudete” is the Latin word for “rejoice” taken from the text of the Second Reading. The fourth candle, violet or purple, to symbolize peace. It is also called as the “Angel’s Candle,” to remind the message of the angels: “peace on earth.” It marks the final week of prayer and penance to wait for the birth of Jesus our Savior who is the Prince of Peace. 


[7] That on Sunday worships in Advent the candles are usually lit after the opening of the Holy Eucharist as part of the preparation with a brief liturgy. It adds meaning to the celebration when certain church member/members from the congregation are assigned beforehand to light the candle each Sunday. 


[8] That Advent wreath can be useful in enabling church members to discern and reflect on the meaning of Advent and the preparation for Christmas if church members are encouraged to put up their miniature Advent wreath at homes and utilize the lighting as part of the family devotion. 


We have to regard the Advent Season as important season of the liturgical year, like the other seasons, but oftentimes lost its meaning because we confuse it with the Christmas season it precedes. We hope that in emphasizing the Advent wreath we make the proper stress of the Advent season as the beginning of the church year, even as we move “Towards Unity in Faith, Perseverance in Witness, and Maturity in Faith by Equipping the Saints, Building-Up the Church, and Faithfully Pursuing Mission” [Eph 4:12-13].
