Just in time for the first Advent, the time of the Advent wreath begins, which is a symbol of the Advent season in many households. The Advent wreath is much more than just a festive decorative wreath - it is a central element of Christmas decorations and spreads a contemplative mood in the run-up to Christmas.
Advent wreath: tradition and modernity
The Advent w reath has a long tradition dating back to 1839. Johann Hinrich Wichern, a Protestant-Lutheran theologian, introduced the first Advent wreath. Originally, it consisted of a willow wreath with fir greenery and 24 candles. Today, there are many modern versions, such as the wooden Advent wreath or models with LED candles. A modern Advent wreath can be just as stylish as the traditional versions.
