About the Advent wreath
The wreath of evergreen branches is a custom of German Lutheran origin, now common across Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox households. The four candles mark the four weeks of Advent — three violet and one rose for Gaudete ("rejoice") — while the white Christ candle in the center is lit from Christmas Eve. It is a devotion of the home, not a sacrament: a quiet way to count the days toward Christmas.
