Advent Wreath Meaning and Traditions | Christian Season of Preparation #1291227 (License: Personal Use)

This illustration depicts a classic Advent wreath made of green evergreen foliage, symbolizing eternal life, with four candles-three purple (representing penitence and preparation) and one pink (signifying joy on Gaudete Sunday). Each candle is lit progressively through the four Sundays of Advent, culminating in the celebration of Christ’s birth. The bold red “Advent” script reinforces the theme of expectant waiting and spiritual readiness.
