Advent candles

**Advent candles** are special candles used during the Advent season, the period leading up to Christmas. Traditionally, an Advent wreath holds four candles, each representing a week of Advent, with one candle lit on each Sunday. Some wreaths also include a fifth candle, known as the Christ candle, lit on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. These candles symbolize hope, peace, joy, and love, helping to mark the spiritual preparation for the celebration of Christ’s birth. Using Advent candles is a meaningful tradition that brings warmth and reflection throughout the holiday season.
