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 2:8-12 (King James)
8. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

(Be sure to make each shepherd different colors.)
