WALT: know the rites and rituals of Advent.
1st Candle =
The Prophecy or Hope candle.
The first candle is the colour purple and it represents that Jesus’ coming was told hundreds of years before Jesus was born. The colour purple also means the royalty of Christ King of Kings.
2nd Candle =
The Bethlehem or Preparation candle.
The second candle is also purple and it represents that Jesus was born in Bethlehem.
3rd Candle =
The shepherds candle or the candle of joy.
The 3rd candle is the only one that is pink and it represents the shepherds candle because the angels told the shepherd the good news of Jesus’ birth. It is also the candle of joy because it was a joyful time when Christ was born.
4th Candle =
The angel candle or the candle of Love.
The angels announced the news of a new king born in a manger so they were recognized with the 4th candle. It is also the candle of love because God loved us so much that he gave his only son to die on the cross and forgive our sins.
