12″ Advent Pillar Candle Set

On the First Sunday of Advent, a blue candle is lit to celebrate Hope, the inspiring and uplifting hope that Christ among us represents. On the Second Sunday of Advent, another blue candle is lit to celebrate Peace, both the Prince of Peace himself and the promise of peace on Earth. On the Third Sunday of Advent, a pink candle is lit to celebrate Joy, the joy the shepherds received at hearing the news of Christ’s birth, or the joy that God brings into our lives. As the coming of Christ draws near, the final blue candle is lit on the Fourth Sunday of Advent to celebrate Love, both God’s boundless love for us and our love for one another. The bright light from the candles is an expression of the growing anticipation of the birth of Jesus Christ, who in Christian faith is seen as the Light of the World. Material: 85% Paraffin, 15% Palm Size: 3″ x 12″ Includes 3 Blue Candles and 1 Pink Candle
