- About this item
- Lighting advent candles is a wonderful Christmas family tradition to celebrate the hope, peace, joy and love of the season
- Advent candle lighting starts on the Sunday four weeks prior to Christmas, with each Sunday having a different candle being lit
- Traditionally the color order of lighting is 1, 2, and 4 which are purple candles, and the 3rd week the pink candle is lit
- These taper candles burn slowly and evenly to ensure a smooth, clean-burning, virtually dripless candle
- Total of 4 unscented candles made of all-natural wax (Note: set includes the candles only, no decorative holder)
the primary color of Advent is Purple, the color of penitence and fasting as well as the color of royalty to welcome the Advent of the King. In the 3rd week (historically) or 4th week (as currently practiced in many religions), the Pink candle is lit to mark a time of joy. This box of traditional Advent taper candles includes 3 purple and 1 pink.
