The white candle that is sometimes used in an Advent Wreath is the Christmas or Christ candle and it lit at the Masses starting with Christmas midnight Mass. Most Catholic Churches use only the 4 violet and rose candles during Advent and the wreath is removed from the church when Christmas decorations are put up on Christmas Eve.

When do you light the fifth candle of advent?

The white candle in the center of the wreath is the 5th candle - that is lit on Christmas or Christmas eve at Mass.Roman Catholic AnswerTechnically the Advent wreath doesn't have a fifth candle. A fifth candle is making into something other than an Advent wreath. Advent has four weeks, and there is a candle for each week. The Advent wreath should be taken down before the Christmas midnight Mass begins. I think the "fifth candle" is some modern invention that makes no sense.
