On the Third Sunday Of Advent, we light the Joy Candle, Otherwise known as the Shepherd Candle, this candle reflects the joy that comes through Jesus’ arrival, and through the salvation he has gifted us.

For the Catholic, Anglican and Lutheran Churches, this Sunday is also often called "Gaudete" (Gaudete is from the Latin, which means Rejoice) So, we are to be joyful at the arrival of our Lord and Savior, Jesus, the Christ. He will save His people.

This is the second Sunday of Advent - the lighting of the Peace Candle, also called the Bethlehem Candle. This candle points to a future of peace, one which will last forever. But first, Christ was to be born in Bethlehem, in the most humble of circumstances. Then, amazingly to some, He needed to go to the Cross, eventually, he will return, then, and only then, will everlasting peace come to pass. It's up to you to understand and receive Him into your heart. Only you can decide that for yourself.

Until that time, we remember the birth of the Christ child, in the most humble of circumstances.

 

 What Is Advent?

Advent is a four-week season in the Church calendar dedicated to anticipating the arrival, or "advent," of Jesus of Nazareth, the long-awaited Messiah and King. Christians from many backgrounds celebrate this time with reflections on hope, peace, love, and joy. And while their practices may look different, all focus on the hope-filled arrival of Jesus.

 Why Is Advent Important?

Advent can be a simple and fun tradition of counting down to Christmas. But for others—particularly those who believe Jesus to be the incarnation of God and the long-awaited Messiah—Advent is a shared experience of meditation and prayer that celebrates the arrival of Jesus.


What about the First Candle of Advent?

The first candle of Advent, represents the Hope of the arrival of the coming Messiah, Jesus, the redeemer. He was to reconcile man to God, sacrificing Himself on the cross to save us.

 

Studio Lighting Build Part II
(Mystery Make Part III)

Alleviating my dark workspace.

Continuing the studio lighting build with a trip to the shop.
This starts with drilling out five sheets of 1/8" aluminum which I
scrounged from a local aluminum boat builder - the grandson of
friends.

These lights will have LED strips in them to provide
Cool/neutral/warm white light.

I decided to add a couple of pieces of music to this video:

Over the last couple of build videos I did, I decided that I need studio lights, badly. So rather than buying them (good ones can be pricey) I decided to make a few, possibly not that much cheaper, but it gives the opportunity to do a build video. The lighting will be provided by white LEDs. No sign of the mystery make in here (yet) but more on it coming soon, but I needed to make these first, so that y'all will be able to see what I'm doing without squinting. In this video, I use Freecad to design parts of the light's structure, and Freecad is primarily about what part 1 of the lighting video is about. Eventually we'll get to assembling the lights, then on to the heat-set insert tool, then onward to the main mystery build.
