The colour of Advent is violet or a shade of purple. A widespread practice during Advent is the use of an Advent Wreath. A new candle is lit on each of the four Sundays of Advent. However, it is important to note that the candle lit on the third Sunday of Advent is rose or pink symbolising joy. The candle lit on Christmas day is white.
