Advent Answers

Ever wonder what the Advent Wreath means?? All of the greens of the wreath signify the immortality of our soul and everlasting life God has promised to us. The circle signifies God’s eternity. There is a candle for each of the four weeks of Advent. The purple candles symbolize the prayer, penance, and preparatory sacrifices and good works during these weeks. The rose candle is for Gaudete Sunday, the Sunday of rejoicing, because we are at the half-way point of Advent. Finally, the light signifies Christ!
