Berlin shines in a festive blaze of lights every year in the period before Christmas. There are over sixty Christmas markets to wander round and enjoy. Berlin’s most attractive Christmas market is the traditional Christmas market in Spandau’s old town. Some 250 traders sell food and handicrafts from four continents on the historic roads.

Traditional seasonal event in Warsaw where city hangs Christmas lights as attraction to tourists and locals. The turning on of Warsaw\’s Christmas lights was inaugurated by a special concert in Castle Square next to the Old Town. People enjoyed the Christmas lights and market. Warsaw’s Christmas Market takes place throughout December on the Market Square of the Old Town. While it is much smaller than the perhaps more famous Krakow Christmas Market, Warsaw’s market still has plenty to offer in terms of food, drink, shopping, and entertainment.

The Advent wreath is part of our long-standing Catholic tradition. Traditionally the candles are purple, because in antiquity, purple dye was very expensive and it was the color of royalty. On the first Sunday in Advent, you light the first candle. On the second Sunday in Advent, you light two candles. On the third Sunday in Advent, you light the two candles from the previous weeks. On the fourth Sunday in Advent, you light all four candles.

Candles and their symbolism:

First Sunday Candle in Advent : Hope
Second Sunday Candle in Advent : Love
Third Sunday Candle in Advent : Joy
Fourth Sunday Candle in Advent : Peace
