The 1st Sunday of Advent is the start of the liturgical year and the start of the season of Advent.
The 1st candle is the Hope Candle which represents the expectation felt in anticipation of the coming Messiah. Is is sometimes called the Prophecy Candle in remembrance of the prophets, especially Isaiah, who foretold the birth of Christ.
