The Advent wreath is a common tradition among Christians celebrating the liturgical holiday of Advent. Advent wreaths are typically circular, with four candles representing each of the Sundays leading up to Christmas. Traditionally, three of the candles are purple or blue, and a fourth is rose-colored. Each Sunday during the Advent period, a candle is lit to mark the passage of time before the birth of Jesus.Catholic Education: The History of the Advent Wreath
