Advent 2020 is composed of the four Sundays before Christmas Day and Christmas Eve. The Advent wreath is for the four weeks and has five candles (one white, one pink and three blue):

    • First Sunday (blue) represents Hope
    • Second Sunday (blue) represents Faith
    • Third Sunday (pink) represents Joy

    • Christmas Eve Day (white) is usually in the center and is called the Christ Candle
