Light the Second purple candle and then the first purple candle.
This second candle represents Love. It symbolizes God's love for us.
John 3:16-17
16. For God so loved the world, that he gave
his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but
have eternal life.
17. For God sent not the Son into the world to
judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him.
This candle is also known as the
"Bethlehem Candle".
Luke 2:1-5 (King James)
1. And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.
2. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3. And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
4. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David)
5. To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
