Not if you have three funerals, with Paschal candle, in the third week of Advent.

Overlooking this wreath, our remaining half an easter candle has loomed, unlit and unloved. Another suggestion: I wondered if this could be used as the central Christ candle as opposed to what we used, which looks like a standard altar candle?
Its a bit off topic, but Sid says his advent wreath central candle has burned since Christmas. Our wreath had a white Candle added for the Christmas Masses but the wreath had been removed entirely by the feast of the Holy Family, in the octave. Surely if a white candle is being used, the wreath should stay in place throughout the Christmas season?
