Advent is the season of Joyful hope and faithful expectation. Advent begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas and lasts four consecutive weeks. The celebration is marked by lighting a candle on each Sunday in the traditional wreath of evergreen boughs. On the first Sunday of Advent, the purple Prophecy Candle is lit, reminding us that Christ's Coming was revealed to us by God through the prophets. The purple Bethlehem Candle is lit on the second Sunday, in addition to the first purple, offering light and guidance through the bright Star of Bethlehem. On the third Sunday, the pink Shepherd's Candle is also list, bearing the joy and glad tidings of the coming birth. This is the Angels Candle signifying Christ's presence is near. Finally on Christmas Day we light a large white Christ Candle to celebrate His arrival, the Light of the World.
