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.
