Light the Advent Candle
点燃降临节蜡烛
1 Light the Advent candle, one:
Now the waiting has begun;
we have started on our way,
time to think of Christmas day.
2 Light the Advent candle, two...
3 Light the Advent candle, three...
4 Light the Advent candle, four...
5 Light the Christmas candles, now:
Sing of donkey, sheep, and cow;
birthday candles for the King,
let the alleluias ring.
在所有德语区，圣诞节前四周就是降临节。从降临节开始，每周日家庭都要聚集在一起，孩子们演唱圣歌，家人们一并点燃一根蜡烛。
当点完四根蜡烛，人们就迎来了圣诞节～
这种习俗在十九世纪的德国延续至今，它象征着基督世界与世上存在的黑暗之间斗争的胜利。
至今为止，降临节的标志就是拥有四根蜡烛的花环。如果你注意到，鹿石老师们带来的所有圣诞花环都是四根蜡烛，或许这就是信仰和传承吧～
