1st Sunday Of Advent

Time is flying: Today is already the first Sunday of Advent! By now every Austrian household should be equipped with an Advent wreath for the "countdown" to Christmas. Today we light the first candle, next Sunday the second one and so on, until, by the last Sunday before Christmas, all four candles are lit.

    Wow, and here I thought an advent calendar was full of chocolate and sold in the Monoprix!

    Do you let the first candle burn all day long?
    I will have to google this event as I have never heard of it.

    Love those wreaths--most here in Vienna are pretty bland. Where did you take this photo? I want to get a nicer one!

    @hmonhihan: I took this photo at the flower shop right behind St. Stephen´s Cathedral (http://www.blumenhauszumdom.at).
