Lost in Translation

THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: TRADITION

It’s part of many traditions to light candles in December.

Even though I don’t need a special reason to light a candle, this one was lit on purpose as the second Advent  candle which symbolises peace.

With holidays approaching I am sure you’ll be able to find some traditions and share them in images. I look forward to seeing them and I wish you all a peaceful Thursday and a peaceful end of the year.

    And it is, after all, Chanukah. So there should be more than enough candles for everyone around the world 🙂

    Like you I rarely need an excuse to light a candle Paula, but at this time of year it’s particularly symbolic. Beautiful photo. ❤️

    Candles are becoming more common in Australia however at Christmas our candles tend to be melting so we don’t frequently light them (apart from some churches). Peace however, is something I would light a candle for despite the heat. Our Christmas traditions: https://irenewaters19.com/2017/12/14/australian-tradition-thursdays-special/

    And the same to you, Paula. Have a peaceful time (all the time). The candle looks wonderful. Most years I’m too late with my advent wreath but by the second or third candle I’m usually with it.

    A lovely composition Paula. I have gotten out of the habit of lighting candles (except in a power failure) and this photo reminds me how special they are. Wishing you a not too busy festive season and a wonderful (hopefully more relaxed) 2018.
