December 20, 2014
Light the rose candle, then the first two candles.  The rose candle represents Joy.
The angels sang a message of joy. 

Luke 2:10-11

10. And the angel said unto them, Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people:

11. for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.

This candle is also known as the "Shepherd's Candle".

Matthew 2:13-15 (King James)

13. And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
14. When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed in Egypt:
15. And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
