What is shown in this coloring page?

Advent, meaning "coming" in Latin, is a time of preparation and reflection. Traditionally beginning on the fourth Sunday before Christmas, it is marked by the lighting of candles on an Advent wreath—one for each Sunday of the season. This coloring page captures classic elements like the circular wreath (symbolizing eternal life), the candles (representing hope, peace, joy, and love), and other wintry, festive details. It’s a celebration of light, waiting, and the promise of renewal.

What are some coloring tips for this page?

• Create Glow: To make the candle flames look like they’re glowing, color lightly around them with a yellow or light orange.
• Texture for Greenery: Use short, overlapping strokes with different shades of green to give the wreath a textured, pine-needle effect.
