A Brown Family welcomes the Christmas Season with the blessing & lighting of the Advent Wreath during the Virtual Employees’ Convocation led by the ABCI Admin & Purchasing Department last November 29, 2021, Monday. The ABCI Family prayed the Novena for the blessing of the wreath followed by the lighting of the first candle.

For the Roman Catholics, during the four Sundays of Advent during mass, we are illuminated with candles as we light Advent wreaths of evergreen, shaped in a perfect circle to symbolize God’s eternity.

The four Sundays preceding Christmas, which is when Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, are recognized for four virtues. The candles on the Advent wreath symbolize hope, love, joy and peace. The candles are lit in that order.
