Advent Wreath
At St. Jude Religious Stores we have a wide assortment of advent wreaths and advent wreath accessories for churches and families to use in their homes.
The advent wreath symbolizes the four weeks of Advent in the liturgical calendar of the Western church. Beginning with the First Sunday of Advent, the lighting of a candle can be accompanied by a Bible reading and prayers. An additional candle is lit during each following week until, by the last Sunday before Christmas, all four candles are lit.

St-Jude.com carries both advent wreaths and advent wreath candles in the traditional colors of purple and rose. Once considered the color of royalty, purple is the historic liturgical color for three of the four Sundays of Advent to symbolize Christ as the “Prince of Peace.” A mixture of Advent purple and Christmas white, rose is the color for the Third Sunday of Advent, known as Gaudete Sunday from the Latin word “rejoice” (the Third Sunday of Advent anticipates the joy of the Christmas celebration), although some say it symbolizes the color of early dawn. No matter what you think the colors stand for, our advent wreath candles are guaranteed to burn brightly for all four weeks of Advent.
There are many traditions and stories behind advent wreaths. Before the Catholic advent wreath came to be what it is today, many historians believe the wreath was used in the Middle Ages as a sign of hope that the warm and extended-sunlight days of spring would soon come. Many Irish Catholics will use a Celtic advent wreath that incorporates Celtic knots or shamrocks as a nod to their heritage. Some families even create their own advent wreath craft to give their celebration a more personal touch.
Whatever type of advent wreath you choose or tradition you follow, advent wreaths are a great way to put more structure in the Christmas season and put focus on the Lord and not on the commerciality of Christmas.
