We will take it out again and replace the wooden Mary (on the donkey) with the Jesus (carrying the cross) figure and add the extra pieces to make it a 40-day path. Every day of Lent we move the candle one hole ahead and move Jesus carrying the cross ahead in the channel between the wood. I am really looking forward to continuing this new tradition that we began last Advent! I especially like the way that using the spiral ties in the two “preparation” seasons in the liturgical year.”
