Usually, the Advent Wreath is removed on Christmas Eve in preparation for midnight Mass and replaced by a Nativity and/or tree. However, some parishes choose to leave the wreath up throughout the Christmas Season and add a fifth candle, a while one, to the middle of the wreath called the Christmas Candle. It is up to the discretion and tradition of each parish.
