 Common Catholic devotional practices include:
-* The Advent wreath — a circle of evergreen branches (symbolizing eternal life) with four candles (three violet, one rose), lit each Sunday. The circle has no beginning or end, representing God's eternity. This custom, adapted from earlier Germanic practices and formalized in the 19th–20th centuries among German Catholics and Protestants, spread widely in the 20th century.
