Each week of Advent has a number of symbolisms, and the following table will be filled as the weeks progress.
| Week | Scene | Attitude | People | Action |
| 1st | Journey on a Donkey | Hope | Isaiah/OT Prophets | Expectation/Prophecy |
| 2nd | Bethlehem | Peace | John the Baptist | Annunciation |
| 3rd | | | | |
| 4th | | | | |
Last week I mentioned how Advent starts off in a spirit of penitence. Not only is purple symbolic of royalty, it is symbolic of suffering. Yet, the attitude of this second week of Advent is peace. How do these reconcile?
