This will be our little sacred space during the Advent Season. In the center of the wreath is the small statue of Jesus at the Garden of Gethsemane. It is made of olive wood from the Holy Land. In the center is a tiny well for Holy Water.
The proceeds are going to help the dwindling number of Christians still living in the Holy Land. It is sad to hear how the churches will soon be empty and will be turned into marketplaces if we don't help them now that tourism is down.
If your church offers the sale of these items as they did in our church today and my mom's church in New Jersey, please consider purchasing one of these lovely works of art and at the same time, help a fellow Christian in need.
Very nice!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Advent,
Therese and Family
