Christmas candles primarily symbolize Jesus as the "Light of the World," bringing hope, peace, joy, and love into darkness, representing spiritual illumination and the anticipation of Christ's birth during Advent, with different candles signifying specific virtues like prophecy, journey, shepherds' joy, and angelic peace, culminating in the central Christ Candle. They also represent hospitality and remembrance in other traditions, but the main meaning centers on divine light and spiritual preparation. 
 
Advent Candles (The Wreath)
    • Hope (Prophecy Candle): The first candle, often purple, signifies hope and Old Testament prophecies of Jesus' coming.
  • Peace (Preparation Candle): The second candle, also purple, symbolizes preparing our hearts and the peace Jesus brings.
  • Joy (Shepherd's Candle): A pink or rose candle, lit on the third Sunday (Gaudete Sunday), represents the joy of the shepherds finding Jesus.
  • Love (Angel's Candle): The fourth candle, usually purple, signifies angelic announcements of peace and love.
  • Christ Candle (White): A central white candle, lit on Christmas Eve or Day, represents Jesus' purity, victory, and light entering the world. 
 
Other Meanings
  • Light in Darkness: A universal theme, candles represent God's light overcoming the world's darkness.
  • Hospitality: In Irish tradition, a candle in the window welcomes family home for Christmas.
  • Remembrance: Candles are used to remember loved ones during the holidays, notes Rathbornes.
