Today is the first Sunday in Advent; the Prophecy candle is lit.The prophecy candle reminds us that Jesus' coming was prophesied hundreds of years before He was born. The candle's color is purple to represent Christ's royalty as King of Kings.
Song for the day: O Come O Come Emmanuel
(Many protestant churches have changed the color from purple to blue, reserving purple for Lent. I tend to be rather traditional so I still use purple candles.)
