What Is the Advent Season?

It is a liturgical season with the weeks leading up to Christmas. It is a season of joyful anticipation of the coming of our Lord, baby Jesus. The liturgical colors of Advent are purple and “rose” (pink).

Explanation of Advent Wreath

The Symbolism Behind an Advent Wreath

  • The purple candles stand for royalty

  • The pink (or rose colored) candle stands for joy

  • The wreath itself symbolizes how God’s love for us is never changing, like the evergreen, that stays green all year. The circle shape symbolizes how God has no beginning and no end, just like a circle. He always has been, and he always will be. 

 

What Do The 4 Advent Candles Represent and order in which to light them

  • There are 4 Sundays in Advent.  Each Sunday you add 1 more candle that you light each night. Here are what the 4 candles during Advent stand for:

  • First Sunday of Advent (purple candle): Hope

  • Second Sunday of Advent (purple candle): Peace

  • Third Sunday of Advent (pink candle): Joy

  • Fourth Sunday of Advent (purple candle): Love
