The second candle on the Advent wreath represents Peace. Like the first candle, it is also purple. Often called the โBethlehem Candle,โ the second Advent candle reminds us of Mary and Josephโs journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem before Mary gave birth to Jesus. Building on the meaning of the Prophecy Candle, this second candle recalls that after all of the division, destruction, and dispersion of the kingdom in the Old Testament, there might finally be peace on Earth โ Jesus is coming, and so is his Kingdom of Peace. As we read in the quote from Pope Francis, this light of peace shone forth from Bethlehem for all the world.
