With this Advent candle display, you can celebrate what began as a custom in Germany and has become a universal symbol of faith-the lighting of candles to count down the four weeks leading up to Christmas. Advent centers on the themes of hope, peace, joy, and love. While there are many variations of this custom, the overall significance is shared by Christians in many parts of the world-welcoming the Son of God with open, gracious hearts. The candle display holds four taper candles, each representing one of the four weeks of Advent. Light the candles each day starting with one and then adding one each week leading up to Christmas Day. In most traditions, three purple candles symbolize humility, penitence, or royalty. These candles are lit during weeks one, two, and four. The candle for the third week is pink to represent joy as Christmas draws nearer and the promise is almost fulfilled. Gather around this display in joyous celebration to remember life’s blessings and praise the coming of the Lord! Sentiment on base:
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Luke 2:14
