[quote=Anonymous]Prayer candles come in various colors, each with its own symbolic meaning. The common ones are, White candles to symbolize the perfection of Christ and are often used in churches due to their bleached beeswax, representing purity. Purple candles are commonly used during Advent, to denote penance, and are also sometimes used during Lent to indicate the blood of Christ. Pink candles are typically lit on Gaudete Sunday during Advent, signifying the overcoming of darkness by the Light of Christ. Red candles are used to honor the Passion of Christ and the martyrs.[/quote]
