As we prepare our hearts and minds for Christmas Day during Advent season, we celebrate this time of anticipation with rich traditions. The use of candles during Advent is a long-standing tradition that holds special meaning.
The four candles, representing the four weeks of Advent, are each lit on one of the four Sundays leading up to Christmas. Three of the candles are purple, symbolizing hope, love and peace while one is pink to symbolize joy.
Prepare your home for this upcoming Advent season with this selection of candles—and holders—that we’ve gathered just for you!
