∙ 11y agoThe third Advent candle is rose (which is close to pink in color, but is most definitely not pink, there are no red candles, red is reserved for vestments on the feasts of maryrs) because it represents Gaudete Sunday and it's rose because this indicates Joy, as we are nearing the nativity of Our Blessed Savior, and the penance, indicated by the Violet candles, is mitigated this week.

What is the symbol of Advent wreath?
The Advent wreath is a Christian tradition that symbolizes the passage of the four weeks of Advent in the Western Church. It is usually a horizontal evergreen wreath with four candles. Each Sunday in Advent an additional Candle is lit, so that by the Sunday before Christmas all four candles are lit.In Catholic churches (of both the Roman and Anglican traditions), The first two candles are purple, the third candle is pink and the final candle is purple. The basis for the colors are that purple is was once the color associated with royalty, it symbolizes Christ as the "Prince of Peace." Rose or Pink is the color for the Third Sunday of Advent, known as Gaudete Sunday from the Latin word "rejoice." Gaudete Sunday anticipates the joy of the Christmas celebration, so its color is a mixture of Advent purple and Christmas white.There are several interpretations of the symbolism of the Advent wreath.The accumulation of light is an expression of the growing anticipation of the birth of Jesus Christ, who in Christian faith is seen as the light of the world. The circular wreath represents God's eternity and unity. Evergreens are a symbol of enduring life. In some traditions the first candle is called the prophet's candle and is meant to signify the hope of Jesus' coming. The second is called the Bethlehem candle in honor of the city of Christ's birth. The third candle is the shepherds' candle. The final candle is the angels' candle, symbolising the angelic proclamation of joy at Christ's birth.

What is the meaning of Advent candles?
The first purple candle means: waitingThe second purple candle means: hopeThe third purple candle means: joyThe pink candle means: peace.Catholic AnswerThe candles, and the Advent wreath itself, are NOT part of the liturgy officially, and are a common folk custom from northern Europe. The four candles were put on the wreath to signify the four Sundays of Advent. Three violet candles and one rose candle - for the color of the four Advent Sundays (purple and pink are NOT liturgical colors in the Catholic Church). The candles themselves have no meaning outside of what some have given them, they are not officially part of the church's liturgy and thus have no official meaning. Some people put a white candle in the middle to stand for Christmas, but this is wildly inappropriate as, thought not official, it is an ADVENT wreath, and Advent ends on the afternoon of Christmas eve.
What does the fourth advent candle mean?
The Fourth Candle (The Candle of Peace) The fourth candle reminds us that Jesus comes to bring Peace to both the world and to people's hearts. Without Christ there is no peace in this world.
