Thank you all for following my advent photo-coverage, and for nice comments.
I couldn't resist yesterday and I had to post that romantic nightshot, so I missed posting the first advent candle. Here it is, today in a little collage with another wreath...
So why do we celebrate Advent in this way?
Croatia is mostly r.catholic country, always has been. Therefore catholic religion is included in our traditions, culture and it is also part of our everyday life-more or less of course. Therefore during advent you can find advent wreath, St Nicholas, holly family etc. But also there are regular western civilization additions like Santa, Rudolph, shopping, drinking, and any kind of fun you can possibly imagine.
Lot of cities celebrate advent at least in Europe in similar way, but Zagreb has been voted for the best Christmas fair of 2016, and this year it is even bigger. And it is only warming up...
Advent was always a part of Christmas for me too- I haven't gotten my display down from the attic yet. Just haven't had the gumption to tackle it this year. Maybe this will motivate me some! Nice shot.
