On the Advent Wreath there are 4 candles? Why is one pink and 3 purple?
FRIEND:
The Advent wreath is comprised of four candles, three candles purple, and one pink, arranged in a circle of evergreen boughs. Some wreaths have a fifth, white candle in the middle.
During the customarily penitential seasons of Advent and Lent, the clergy and the altars of most liturgical churches sport purple vestments. The purple candles reflect the contemplative nature of the season, and they symbolize repentance.
The pink candle is lighted on the third Sunday of Advent, which is also referred to as Rose Sunday, Gaudete Sunday (Gaudete means “Rejoice” in Latin), or Refreshment Sunday. The Lectionary provides more cheerful lessons on this day, and in the good old days of disciplined fasting, Christians were allowed extra sustenance this day, often in the form of hot cross buns. While I’ve never thought of hard pastry as particularly refreshing, I suppose a hungry and penitential December might alter one’s perspective.
Clergy are to vest in rose on Gaudete Sunday, but the priests of Ms. ‘P’s acquaintance have never been courageous enough to don a pink chasuble or stole.
The white candle, lighted on Christmas, is called the Christ Candle, and represents purity. The evergreen circle of the wreath represents the everlasting nature of God.

Though the candle colors mean the same, in our church the first three represent the prophecy.
GOD BLESS YOU AND MARRY CHRISTMAS
