Is the first season of the Liturgical Year. Advent begings fours weeks before Christmas. To annouce that the the season is here, Catholics use an Advent Wreath, that has four candles, three purple, one pink. Although the main symbolism of the advent wreath is simply marking the progression of time, it also shows a particluar theme to each candle, most often hope, faith, joy, and love.
