*Advent wreath or candle holders not included - CLICK HERE to view ADVENT COLLECTION* Advent - "the coming" - refers to the four-week season of preparation for the coming of Jesus on Christmas Day and the anticipation of His coming again. Advent begins the Sunday nearest November 30 and continues until December 24. Advent is a time to pray, a time to wait, and a time to hope. Many observe this holy season by lighting candles each of the four Sundays in Advent. Three of the candles are purple (or blue), reminding us to pray and serve others lovingly to help prepare the way for Jesus. The candle for the third Sunday of Advent is rose-colored. This color symbolizes our joy as the birth of Jesus draws near. On Christmas Eve a white Christ candle is lit along with the other four. Perfect for use at church or home, these votive candles may be displayed in Advent wreaths or added to your own creations. Each set includes 3 purple candles and 1 rose candle.
