Today, on Christmas Day, we lit the white candle on the Advent wreath. The white candle, often called the “Christ Candle,” represents Jesus Christ and symbolizes purity, light, and the fulfillment of God’s promise. It is typically placed in the center of the wreath and is lit on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day to celebrate the birth of Christ.
This candle serves as the culmination of the Advent season, emphasizing the arrival of Christ as the “Light of the World.”
