As part of advent, we set up a wreath ( I make mine form fresh Christmas Tree boughs) with 4 candles in it – each symbolizing a week of preparation in the Season of Advent. The wreath usually has 3 purple candles and 1 pink one. The purple candles represent repentance – our faith urges us to repent for our wrongdoings and begin afresh – and while the pink one symbolizes joy – at the coming of Christ.

These candles also stand for Hope, Peace Joy and Love.
