Lesson: On this second Sunday of Advent we light two purple candles. This second candle is the Bethlehem candle; it points to the wondrous mystery of the incarnation. That is, of Christ becoming a man in Bethlehem.
Scripture: Luke 2:4-7
So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Song: O Little Town of Bethlehem
