Advent Pillar Candle Set | 3 Purple, 1 Pink | 2.75" H x 3" Diameter | Christian Brands
Four candles. Four Sundays. One season of waiting made visible. This Advent pillar candle set includes three purple candles and one pink candle, the traditional color sequence that has guided Catholic and Christian households through Advent for generations. Each candle measures 2.75" tall by 3" in diameter, a true pillar candle format sized to sit squarely in pillar-style Advent holders. The blend is 85% paraffin and 15% palm oil, burning cleanly and evenly through the weeks of the season. These are the candles that pair directly with the Prepare the Way Advent Pillar Candleholder (N5241).
The Four Candles and What They Mean
Three purple candles are lit on the first, second, and fourth Sundays of Advent. Purple is the color of prayer, penance, and preparation, the interior work of making room for what is coming. The pink candle is lit on the third Sunday, Gaudete Sunday, from the Latin gaudete, meaning rejoice. It signals that Advent has passed its midpoint and Christmas is within sight. The growing ring of light around the wreath each week is not decoration. It is a weekly act of declaration: the darkness is not winning. The Light is coming.
What's Included
For the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Sundays of Advent, representing prayer, preparation, and the loving service that prepares the way for Jesus.
For the 3rd Sunday (Gaudete Sunday), representing joy as the birth of Christ draws near.

Frequently Asked Questions
|
Will these fit a standard Advent wreath? These are pillar candles (3" diameter), not taper candles. They are designed for pillar-style Advent holders, not taper candle rings. Check your holder's candle cup size before ordering. |
|
Which holder do these pair with? These candles pair directly with the Prepare the Way Advent Pillar Candleholder (N5241), also available at Catholic Faith Store. |
|
Why is the third Sunday's candle pink instead of purple? The third Sunday of Advent is Gaudete Sunday, from the Latin word for rejoice. The pink (rose) candle marks the midpoint of Advent and signals that the waiting is almost over, Christmas is near, and joy is the appropriate response. |
|
Is a white Christ candle included? No. This set contains the four Advent candles only (3 purple, 1 pink). A white Christ candle for Christmas Day is not included and would need to be sourced separately if your holder has a center position. |
Perfect For
Households using the Prepare the Way Advent Pillar Candleholder, families seeking pillar-format Advent candles for a wreath or home altar, parishes and religious education programs, and anyone who wants the traditional 3-purple, 1-pink Advent candle sequence in a clean pillar format.
