Here are some things to know about Gaudete Sunday
It can fall on any date between December 11 and 17. On Advent wreaths, a pink or rose candle is lit on Gaudete Sunday to represent joy and anticipation. The introit to the mass on Gaudete Sunday begins with the phrase "Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say rejoice" from Philippians 4 v 4–6.
