Today is the fourth Sunday in Advent; the Angel's candle is lit.
The Angel's candle reminds us 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.
Song for the day: Angels We Have Heard On High
(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.)
