10" X 3/4" 3 purple, 1 white, and 1 pink
Three of the candles are purple to represent penance and longing; they are lit during the first, second, and fourth weeks. One of the candles is rose-colored to symbolize joy; it is lit during the third week in glad anticipation of the birth of Jesus. And the fifth candle, to be lit on Christmas day, is white. This candle signifies the appearance of the promised Savior Jesus Christ, our Lord.
