The Advent Wreath is primarily used by Christian communities, particularly in liturgical traditions such as Roman Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, and Methodist churches. It serves as a visual symbol of the Advent season, marking the weeks leading up to Christmas. Families often use the wreath at home as part of their Advent celebrations, lighting the candles each week to represent hope, peace, joy, and love. The wreath helps to create a reflective atmosphere during the anticipation of Christ's birth.

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.

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.
