Ornament #3 of 4: 3rd Week of Advent (JOY)

Our square pink ornament for the Third Week of Advent features an Advent wreath on the front atop a pattern of white diagonal stripes containing the word JOY. Joy is the theme of the week. A heartfelt sentiment appears on the back. + Front: The Advent wreath is made of evergreens and holly with two violet candles and a pink one being depicted as lit. Pink (or light rose) is the liturgical color of joy for Gaudete Sunday. It signals a shift in mood from the solemn preparation of the first two weeks of Advent to the joyful anticipation of Christmas for the remaining two weeks. In actual practice, the remaining violet candle is lit the following Sunday and is pictured as such on the final ornament in this series. + Image Credits: Black and white Advent wreath AI-generated by mimicoloringdesigns via Pixabay, modified and colorized by Saints_Aplenty; bow by Elionas also via Pixabay. + Back: A wish for JOY that can be personalized.
