While Advent is usually a time of prayer and repentance, it's also one for rejoicing and celebrating, and purple is the main color associated with it. The first two weeks are solemn, with the colors purple and blue used during those two weeks. The third Sunday of Advent uses pink or rose as its main colors; this represents a change in mood to cheer in preparation for the birth of Christ. In many churches, circular wreaths that hold five candles are also used as part of the Advent tradition. One candle is lit on each Sunday of Advent. The last candle -- known as the Christ Candle -- is lit on Christmas Eve.
