Description
“…its light reaches each of us”
/ Szabó Magda /
/ Szabó Magda /
On the Advent wreath, the flame of the last candle also flickers to life, and Debrecen’s festive lights embrace the city with their most intimate glow. Kossuth Square, Dósa Nádor Square, and the Courtyard of the Old Town Hall will once again fill with music, shared experiences, and the quiet anticipation of the holiday season this weekend.
Touching melodies, festive reflections, and the power of community help us immerse ourselves in what Advent truly means: togetherness, hope, and turning toward the light.
