What are the 4 colors of the Advent candles, and what do they mean?

Asked 3 years ago

Hi, I'm curious about how 7th Day Adventists celebrate Christmas. I've heard that they make wreaths and light different color candles on different days. What are the colors, and do they symbolize anything?

The four Advent candles are lit each week leading up to Christmas. There are three blue or purple candles. One is for hope, one symbolizing preparation and one for love. There is one pink or rose candle for joy. And the last candle is white for purity, regeneration, godliness, light and victory.
