Advent

Keep the Tradition Burning Bright

Unfold the anticipation of the season with our selection of traditional symbols of Advent: Advent wreaths and candleholders, Advent candles and Advent calendars. As the flames flicker, let them guide your reflection and encourage you to slow down in preparation for the coming of the Light of the World. Each of the four candles stands for a Sunday of Advent, three purple and one rose, with one more lit each week beginning Sunday, November 29, 2026. Our Advent wreath guide explains what each candle means and the order to light them.

Advent marks the beginning of the Church's new liturgical year. It is a powerful time of preparation as we await the coming of our Savior, when the Creator became one of His creatures to lift us up, and as we remember that Jesus will come again to judge the living and the dead. To step away from the frantic consumerism of the Christmas season, Catholic Faith Store offers aids for Advent that keep its spiritual truths close, along with weekly reflections on Hope, Peace, Joy and Love.
