It was introduced in 1839 by the Protestant theologian educator and founder of the Diakonie Johann Hinrich Wichern (1808-1881). This should shorten the time until the feast of the birth of Jesus Christ for street children. The Wichernkranz is the archetype of the Advent wreath we know today. It was a wagon wheel with four large white and 20 small red candles that hung from the ceiling for the first time on the 1st of Advent in 1839 in the prayer room of the Rauhen Haus in Hamburg-Horn. The big white candles stand for the Advent Sundays, the small red ones for the working days. So it should make the Advent season more vivid for the children. A candle is lit every evening from the 1st of Advent to Christmas Eve. The number of small candles until Christmas Eve is different every year. They vary between 18 and 24, because the 1st Sunday in Advent begins on a different date each year and the length of the Advent period is different. Make your own wreath You will need the following materials for the Wichern wreath: 4 large red candles (for the Advent Sundays) 1 large candle (for Christmas Eve) 22 small candles (white table candles or tea lights) to 27 wax stickers (alternatively: a stump of a table candle) As a base 1 old wagon wheel (alternatively: large circular plate or a round board) Fir green, nuts, figures Crafting instructions Step 1: preparation step 2 step 3 Step 4: decoration Schritt 5: Fertig! zur News-Übersicht zur News-Übersicht Ihr Ansprechpartner Presse & Medien Torsten Ehlers Leiter Öffentlichkeitsarbeit mehr anzeigen öffnen/schließen Jobs Wir suchen vor allem Pflegefachkräfte, aber auch Mitarbeiter in anderen Sozial- und Pflegeberufen.
