This is an original 1945 Swedish vintage poster designed to promote Advent church services. The poster’s text reads “Bered en väg för Herran” ("Prepare a way for the Lord") at the top, with “ADVENT” prominently displayed below, followed by “Kyrkan kallar till gudstjänst” ("The church calls for worship") in elegant script at the bottom.
The artwork depicts a group of angels holding radiant yellow lights, symbolizing spiritual guidance and illumination during the Advent season. The background features vertical, organ-like blue and green stripes, which add a sense of depth and reverence. Small white dots, resembling stars or snowflakes, are scattered across the scene, enhancing the ethereal quality of the image.
The colors are well-preserved, with vibrant contrasts between the deep, dark background and the bright, glowing lights held by the angels. The poster is in very good condition, capturing a nostalgic and festive atmosphere, perfect for the season of Advent.
