Pictured in front of the altar inside Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Coldwater is a large Advent wreath and candles - a symbol of the coming of Jesus at Christmas. On Sunday, the first Advent candle was lit. The local church this year is using four white candles adorned with purple and pink ribbons instead of the more traditional three purple candles and a pink one.
