Advent Wreath Symbolism and Meaning | Christian Tradition Guide #3714736 (License: Personal Use)

This vibrant illustration depicts a traditional Advent wreath made of green evergreen branches adorned with small red berries, signifying eternal life and Christ’s sacrifice. Four candles are placed around the wreath-three purple (for penitence, fasting, and preparation) and one pink (for joy, lit on Gaudete Sunday). Each candle is lit progressively during the four Sundays of Advent, culminating in the celebration of Christ’s birth.
