The season of Anticipation is just about to hit a high note. This Sunday, we will finally light that pink candle in the wreathe that we’ve all been looking at and wondering about. So, here it is. The scoop on the Rose Colored Candle.
It’s apparently known as the angels‘ candle, symbolising the angelic proclamation of joy at Christ’s birth .
Now, I have a surprise for you. If you like, there’s one more candle we can add and light together after this Sunday. A fifth candle. Let me tell you about it. You can put it in the center of your wreath, and they usually suggest that it be white. It is the “Christ Candle”. It can be lit on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.
Just so you know, there are a variety of ways to celebrate advent and the tradition of the wreath. You may not celebrate the same way as your neighbor, but don’t let that throw you. Get a green wreathe (green represents eternity), try to find three purple candles, one pink and one white, and you are good to go for next year if you weren’t able to join us this year. (They’ll be on special after the holidays if you want to prepare for next year now. 🙂
It’s hard to believe that it’s almost here! The culmination of everything we’ve been looking forward to – together. And I can tell you, it’s been very special to share my annual tradition with YOU.
So, here’s to what has been, is, and is to come.
