Our advent traditions - part 2
Første søndag i advent starter vi også på Jessetræet. Det er en engelsk (amerikansk) trasition, hvor man hver dag fra 1. søndag i advent til 25. december læser en stump af Bibelen, begyndende mad verdens skabelse og frem til Jesu fødsel i begyndelsen af det nye testamente.
Vi lytter til bibelhistorien, tale lidt om den og finder en passende ting at hænge op på vores Jesse træ.

Today is the first Sunday of Advent. We lithg the first purple candle of the advent wreath. W all have a small gift and eat cakes and loads of candy in preparation for the abstinence during advent.
First Sunday of Advent is also the first day of the Jesse Tree readings. An English (American) tradition MotherOwl has imported. Today we begin with the tree.
Uglemor,
SvarSletWe also have an Advent wreath and a Jesse tree and readings. Unfortunately, we didn't have gifts and candy and cake on Sunday. We got off to a good start with the readings, but I wonder how long it will be before we get behind. Something always happens to disrupt this tradition. We shall have to try extra hard to stay on track this Advent!
