Advent Candles - Meaning, Tradition, and Symbolism for Christmas Preparation #18748 (License: Personal Use)

This illustration depicts a classic Advent arrangement: three purple candles representing penitence and preparation, and one pink candle symbolizing joy, lit on the third Sunday of Advent. The candles rest on a bed of green fir sprigs, evoking the evergreen hope of eternal life during the winter season. Each flame signifies a week of anticipation leading up to Christmas Eve.
