This illustration depicts a classic Advent wreath made of evergreen branches, adorned with four candles-three purple (representing penitence, fasting, and preparation) and one pink (signifying joy on Gaudete Sunday). Each candle is lit progressively during the four Sundays of Advent, culminating in the celebration of Christ’s birth. The red “Advent” script beneath reinforces the seasonal theme.
