Where this lesson fits: This is lesson four in a sequence of festivals of light from Judaism, Sikhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Paganism and Ancient Civilisations. The unit is part of Pathway 5- Influence and Authority. Each lesson will focus on the ancient stories that underpin them and how these stories have influenced how people celebrate in modern times.
This lesson explores Christian advent traditions and focuses on the story of the first advent wreath. It emphasises how traditions are different around the world and how they evolve over time. Pupils will continue to build on their understanding of the symbolism of light across the festivals studied.
Enrichment ideas: If this unit is taught near advent time, the children could complete alternative advent calendars together such as the ‘random acts of Christmas kindness’ or ‘reverse advent calendar’ which involves collecting items for a local foodbank. Christmas activities that extend learning about the significance of light include the Christingle-https://www.childrenssociety.org.uk/how-you-can-help/fundraise-and-events/christingle/what-is-Christingle.
Resources needed: If the craft activity is selected, pupils will need a range of materials to choose from including pinecones, twine, ribbon, evergreen sprigs (real or fake), berries (fake), coloured card, paint, air drying clay and battery operated tealights.
If researching advent traditions in small groups they will require a shared device.
Further lesson notes and additional ideas may be found in the notes section of some slides (normal or presenter view). Please refer to the full unit plan for other suggested activities. Notes for teachers<br>

Through considering the Big Picture, pupils should learn that:
People tell different stories to communicate important teachings and these stories often form part of longer narratives.
Groups of religious and non-religious people tell different stories, which reflect the different ways in which they view the world. How this presentation links to the pathway:

Introduction We have been learning about how stories from the past influence how people celebrate festivals today.
In this lesson, we will think about where Advent traditions have come from and how Christians around the world celebrate today.
Advent is a time of preparation (and traditionally fasting) for Christians getting ready for Christmas and the birth of Jesus.<br>

Advent – From the Latin ‘arrival’ Advent starts on the fourth Sunday before Christmas Plus the next 3 Sundays Advent ends on Christmas Eve In some Christian traditions, followers of Jesus devote the first two weeks to remembering Jesus' promise to return and renew Heaven and Earth. Then, during the last two weeks, Christian communities focus on the birth of Jesus.<br>
11
Advent- A time of waiting Other people celebrate Advent without the focus on Jesus' birth, seeing the tradition as a fun way to countdown to Christmas.
Advent calendars would traditionally have had pictures from the nativity. Though specific traditions vary from community to community, all Christians focus on the hope-filled arrival of Jesus during Advent.<br>

Advent- A time of waiting In some traditions, Christians reflect on the concepts of hope, peace, love and joy- one for each week leading up to Christmas.
People may light Advent candles, prepare wreaths, hold special church services, or read Scriptures from the Bible each day to reflect on the arrival of Jesus on Earth.<br>

Task: Design and make your own Advent wreath Your advent wreath must have:
A circular design
4 candles, one for each of the 4 weeks of Advent
Labels to show what each candle symbolises or what the time of advent means for Christians. Explore the craft equipment you have been given.

How is Advent celebrated around the world? In Sweden, St. Lucia’s Day marks the beginning of the Christmas celebration. On that day, the eldest daughter of the family traditionally dresses in a white robe and wears as a crown an evergreen wreath studded with candles.
The festival is meant to symbolise hope and light during the darkest time of the year. Does St Lucia’s Day remind you of any other festivals we have studied? How? Why?<br>

Learning summary Advent means ‘coming’ and is the 4 week period of preparation before celebrating the birth of Jesus for Christians. There are different advent traditions around the world, including St Lucia’s day in Sweden which symbolises hope and light during the darkest time of the year. The tradition of the advent wreath began nearly 200 years ago when Johann Hinrich Wichern built a cartwheel wreath to count the days until Christmas. The advent wreath candles symbolise peace, joy, the love of God and Jesus as the light of the world.<br>
