Traditionally, the primary color of Advent is Purple, the color of penitence and fasting as well as the color of royalty to welcome the Advent of the King. In the 3rd week (historically) or 4th week (as currently practiced in many religions), the Pink candle is lit to mark a time of joy. This box of traditional Advent taper candles includes 3 purple and 1 pink. Biedermann & Sons have been offering the most distinctive candles, candle accessories, Christmas Commemoratives and giftware since 1956 -- and we have been the U.S. Distributor for Mats Jonasson Royal Swedish crystal since 2007.
Candles came well packaged so they did not have any damage in shipping. Colors are nice. We don't ususally have them burning for long periods but they seem to be fairly long burning. We'll be using them again next year.
These are pretty much what I expected. The quality is fine but I thought they were pricey for candles. I had no luck finding Advent candles ( or at least purple and pink candles) in my area so I had to purchase them online.
