The purple of the purple candles symbolize a penitential tone as one prepares for the coming of Christmas, while the pink (rose) candle symbolizes a joyful tone.n the second Sunday of Advent, the second purple candle is lit. This candle typically represents love. Some traditions call this the Bethlehem candle, symbolizing Christ's manger.   On the third Sunday of Advent the pink, or rose-colored candle is lit.
