Excitement is growing in the communities where the Moravian holiday, Advent, is celebrated.
By Saturday, most Moravian communities will have their Advent trees erected and decorated for the occasion.
Children will hang their empty stockings in anticipation of the visiting Nalujuks.

There are four Sundays of Advent before Christmas Eve.
To mark this occasion some of the Moravian churches light a candle for each Sunday.
