Roman Catholics will observe the Second Sunday of Advent on Dec. 4 to signal the nearness of Christmas Day.
With the ease of Covid-19 restrictions, many churchgoers are expected to attend the live masses on Sunday. Parishioners in churches under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Manila are reminded to still wear their face masks inside the church premises as a precautionary measure against the coronavirus.
Also known as the Bethlehem candle, the second purple candle “serves as a reminder that Jesus was born in Bethlehem and that Jesus is King,” said Church officials. According to the Church, the progression in the lighting of the candles symbolizes the various aspects of our waiting experience. As the candles are lit over the four-week Season of Advent, it mirrors the darkness of fear receding and the shadows of sin falling away as more and more light are shed into the world.
Celebrated with great anticipation and hope, the traditional theme for the Second Sunday of Advent is God’s Divine Love for Mankind.
