The Advent Wreath
​
The Wreath is a circular garland of evergreen branches.
​
The circle representing God’s love, having no beginning and no end.
​
The evergreen representing continuity, God, the source of life.
​
There are three purple candles and one pink candle on the wreath with a white candle in the centre.
​
The colour purple is the colour of penance but also a royal colour for our King.
​
Pink is for rejoicing and white for the birth of Jesus.
​
Each candle represents a week of Advent. Each week we light another candle on the wreath and on Christmas Day we light the White candle.
