Advent at St. John's - Joy

Advent at St. John's - The lighting of the third Advent candle - Joy

On Friday we lit the third candle of Advent- the symbol for JOY. As we get nearer to Christmas Day, our joy grows more and more.

The third candle reminds us of the joyful anticipation of the shepherds who journeyed to see Jesus in Bethlehem, even before the wise men. 

"But the angel said to them. 'Do not be afraid; for see- I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people.' "

Luke 2:10
