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 are the colors for the Advent candle and what are their meanings?
Three purple candles (1st, 2nd, and 4th sundays) and one pink candle. Purple represents waiting, and pink represents joy.

What do red candles signify in wicca?
Actually, though the purple and pink candles are more common, there is a tradition that celebrates the advent season with gold, green, white, purple, and red candles. I'm not sure where this variation of the advent wreath originated, but I have seen it practiced in Baptist churches. In sequence the gold candle is for the prophets, the while candle is for the angels, the green candle is for the shepherds, the purple (sometimes a blue candle may be used) candle is for the magi, and the red candle is for the Savior.
When are candles used in celebrations?
Candles are used in the following Christian celebrations ~During Christmas time, in the season of Advent, four candles are placed on a wreath. In the center of the wreath a larger white candle is placed. Each Sunday of advent, a new candle is lit, along with the previously lit candles. The candles on the wreath are, in a clockwise circle, purple, purple, pink and purple. The first candle is called the Prophets candle of hope, symbolizing the hope that was was portrayed when prophets announced Jesus' coming. The second candle is the Bethlehem candle of peace. This is symbolic of the peace in the town where Jesus was born. The pink candle is known as the Shepard's candle of joy, hence they were joyful when they were told of Jesus' birth. The last outer candle is the Angels candle of love, which describes the angels proclamation of Christs birth. The white middle candle is called the Christ Candle and is lit on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.
