The fourth candle, lit on the fourth Sunday of advent, is the Angel’s candle.
As we light this flame, we are reminded of the heavenly hosts that proclaimed Christ’s arrival with “Behold, I bring unto you good tiding of great joy!”
The Angel candle is also purple, reminding us that it was a King’s birth the angels were announcing.
Suggested Bible Reading: Ezekiel 34:23, Luke 2:15-20 and John
10:11
