With the demise of the RomanEmpire and the invasion of thepagan Anglo-Saxons, Christiansin Britain were in hiding and thechurch was in disarray. Pope SaintGregory the Great recognized thatGaul needed a leader and sentSaint Augustine to England. SaintAugustine found a robust churchthat had developed, over time,rituals and practices that weredifferent from the Roman rites butfitting in a land with a differentheritage. He embraced this formof Christianity and it found itsway into the liturgy that he spreadthroughout the region. Severalcenturies later when the Normansinvaded the British Isles, their ritualalong with the Gallic rites, formedwhat today we know to be theSarum tradition.The Sarum rites brought us specialhymns and practices as well aschurch colors that differed fromthe rites spread throughout theRoman Empire. During the Adventseason, which was gaining liturgicalsignificance, Christians used ablue sarum color to adorn theirvestments and candles.Christians believe that Adventis a season of preparation thatanticipates both Bethlehem andthe consummation of history in thesecond coming of Jesus Christ. Sincethis anticipation is characterized byhope in contrast to the repentancecharacteristic of Lent the color forthe Advent season should be bluewith its hopefulness.Today, Will & Baumer® is proud tooffer our exclusive Sarum AdventCandles that replicate the liturgyof ancient Gaul and are coloredwith a majestic blue and rose.Our handcrafted Sarum AdventCandles are reminiscent of the earlychurch in times of persecution,when being a Christian was bothdangerous and difficult.We encourage you to step backin time and experience the longlasting,pure burning quality ofWill & Baumer® candles in thetime-honored Sarum tradition thatwill add warmth and dignity toyour Advent liturgy of today. — 85% Paraffin, 15% Palm — 85% Paraffin, 15% Palm
