      I buy plain white candles in a glass candle holder. I boil some water and then sit the candles (in their glass holders) into the water until they are all melted. I then add liquid food coloring to each of the melted liquid to make the shades I want.

    Hi I am going to be using taper candles and I have some questions…. I will be reading through the book of Luke during Advent
    1. I know that we’re supposed to light 1 candle every Sunday, but what about the days in between after I light the candle on Sunday … do I also light them Monday through Saturday as well…
    2. How many hours or minutes should we leave the candles burning for.. ❤❤❤

So, we're going to put it on the coffee table and light it say the rosary and Chaplet of Devine Mercy. Then blow it out. Next week it will be that first candle plus another purple lit together same routine, third week two purples, the pink (for joy) 4th week all 3 purple and the pink, Christmas day all those plus the white one after the prayers we let it burn completely out.

    Love that you did this video that a lot of non Catholics might have a few questions about and even fallen away Catholics themselves. I would have included a little more history and facts about it such as the word advent coming from Greek originally but the Latin being Adventus, etc. Just a suggestion but I appreciate the topic either way.
