[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is a history of the advent wreath, including a discussion of candle colors. It is a Catholic source, but discusses other Christian traditions as well. For Catholics: "To reinforce the symbolism of the liturgical vestments worn by priests, Catholics swapped the red candles for three purple candles—the color typically associated with penance—and one pink, the color of rejoicing worn on the third Sunday of Advent [Gaudete Sunday]."[/quote] Oops forgot the link: https://uscatholic.org/articles/201511/why-are-advent-candles-pink-and-purple/ [/quote]
