Advent Wreath
AssembledAn Advent wreath is a traditional Christian symbol used to mark the four weeks leading up to Christmas. It’s usually made of evergreen branches arranged in a circle, symbolizing eternity, hope, and God’s unending love.
The wreath typically holds four candles:
Three purple candles → representing hope, peace, and love (depending on tradition).
One pink candle → lit on the third Sunday, called Gaudete Sunday, symbolizing joy.
Each Sunday in Advent, one more candle is lit, with prayers or readings, so by Christmas, all are glowing.
In homes, churches, and even community spaces, the Advent wreath becomes a visual countdown to Christmas, blending devotion, tradition, and the warmth of candlelight.
