Advent Begins - November 30
The most common sign that the season of Advent has
arrived is the Advent wreath. Originally a circle of
evergreens, it is fitted with three
purple candles, representing the penitential Sundays, and a rose
colored candle for Gaudate Sunday - the joyful Sunday. Sometimes there
is a white candle in the center called the Christ candle or the Mary
candle.
