What do the colors of the Advent wreath represent?
The Color of the Wreath


Green is the Liturgical Color that expresses Hope in God. The boughs of the fir tree are always green in every season of the year. These evergreen boughs which form the wreath remind us that God and His Revelation are unchanging even as the fir tree is ever green.


The ribbons have the Liturgical Colors of the Advent Season. Violet symbolizes a time of penance and preparation. Rose symbolizes pending jubilation and joy
