Have you ever wondered why the third candle in the advent wreath is pink? Why pink? Why the third Sunday?
The short answer is joy!
But the long answer is fascinating, and it has something to do with Lent, and something to do with an early Gnostic movement that dismissed Jesus as a real human person.
This bonus episode on the Advent Candle of Joy carries the theme of the birth of Jesus, and the transcendent joy each of the women involved in Christs first coming experienced.
