Why a wreath for Advent?
A traditional Advent wreath is made of evergreens and has 3 violet candles and 1 pink candle. A new candle is lit each week with the pink being lit on the 3rd week.
As the Messiah's "Advent" or "coming" draws nearer another candle is lit, with each candle dispelling the darkness a little more.
The circular shape symbolizes God's never ending love for us-a love that sent his Son into the world to redeem us from the curse of sin. It also represents eternal life through our faith in Christ.
Violet is a liturgical color that is used to signify a time of prayer, penance, and sacrifice and is used during Advent and Lent.
