	The History of the Advent Wreath
		There is evidence of pre-Christian Germanic peoples using wreathes with lit candles during the cold and dark December days as a sign of hope in the future warm and extended-sunlight days of Spring.
		The circle of the wreath, which has no beginning or end, symbolizes the eternity of God, the immortality of the soul, and the everlasting life found in Christ.
		All together, the wreath of evergreens depicts the immortality of our soul and the new, everlasting life promised to us through Christ, the eternal Word of the Father, who entered our world becoming true man and who was victorious over sin and death through His own passion, death, and resurrection.

	ELCA : Worship : FAQ : The Advent Wreath
		The size of the Advent wreath should be appropriate to the size of the worship space.
		Although the wreath should not draw attention away from the font, the table, and the ambo, it should be of sufficient size to make a strong statement about the meaning of the season.
		Because the Advent wreath does not carry with it liturgical action or significance, its should be lit simply and unobtrusively, perhaps before the service when the other candles are lighted.

	Christmas Wreath Product Information
		In this day, even the wreath business is experiencing "Off Shoring" Every year more and more Maine wreath companies (whether big or small) are importing wreaths and tips from Canada.
		Take for example our 24" wreath (our most popular size) weighs around 6 to 7 lbs and has a thickness of approximately 6", compare this to even the "high end" mail-order wreath that weighs around 3 lbs and is 2 to 3 inches thick, and you begin to see the difference in quality.
		Another measure that is necessary for a quality wreath is that no tips can be harvested until the needles have "set", this means we must wait until the night temperatures have been in the low 20's for a minimum period of 5 consecutive nights.
