The Symbolism of Advent Candles
The Advent candles represent the four weeks leading up to Christmas, with each week focusing on themes of hope, faith, joy, and peace:
• Week 1: A purple candle is lit, symbolising hope, often called the Prophecy Candle.
• Week 2: A second purple candle, the Bethlehem Candle, represents faith and preparation.
• Week 3: The pink candle, known as the Shepherd’s Candle, stands for joy and marks a shift to celebration.
• Week 4: The final purple candle, the Angel’s Candle, symbolises peace.
On Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, the white candle is lit, representing the purity and light of Christ, the central focus of the season.
