Thanks Salvation. My wife will be relieved to know that white candles are acceptable for the Advent wreath. It's always a struggle finding good violet and pink tapers. 8-)

That was an interesting fact.

I always used the purple and pink (rose) during Advent and then from Christmas through Epiphany I put in white candles.

Other people leave the purple and pin (rose) and then put a white Christmastide Candle (I sometimes do it with a large pillar candle.) in the center of the Advent wreath.

There are probably many ways to do it. The important thing is the preparation mindset and the daily prayers.

I got my Advent candles from http://www.churchcandlesonline.com/

They sell Advent candle sets, blue or purple, rose, in beeswax or stearin, and holders/wreaths.
