All are lit. There’s a white rectangle at the bottom, and two purple gift tags which read “what do advent candles symbolise?” “beth mae canhwyllau adfent yn ei symboleiddio?”

White text on the right reads: “Advent candles are used in church to mark the season of Advent - one is lit each Sunday, with the final one lit on Christmas Day. Defnyddir canhwyllau Adfent yn yr eglwys i nodi tymor yr Adfent - mae un yn cael ei goleuo bob dydd Sul, gyda'r un olaf yn cael ei goleuo ar Ddydd Nadolig.”

Mae'r ddau gyntaf yn borffor ac maen nhw'n symboleiddio gobaith a heddwch. Mae'r trydydd yn binc ac yn symboleiddio llawenydd; mae'r pedwerydd yn symboleiddio cariad.”
