Ashley has made a good point. It is important that the candles on the wreath are lit in a clockwise fashion (we are counting the Sundays down to Christmas Day) - so the unlit rose and purple candles need reversing. I guess the error would have become more apparent on Gaudate Sunday!
Westminster Cathedral is the mother church of the Roman Catholic community in England and Wales. This extraordinary house of God was opened in 1903, and its distinctive Byzantine architecture provides the visitor with what Sir John Betjeman called "a series of surprises".

It looks like you lit you Advent wreath counterclockwise. My parish does it clockwise. Is there any reason to go clockwise or counterclockwise?
