Q: It is my understanding that there isn’t a prescribed order for lighting Advent candles. If so, if we place the pink candle at the 9 o’clock spot, we can start lighting the 1st purple candle at the 3 o’clock spot on the First Sunday of Advent. Thanks for your guidance.

A: Here are some previous posts: https://paulturner.org/advent-wreaths/
The blessing is in the Book of Blessings. Just light one candle on the first Sunday, increase to 2 candles on the second, and save the pink candle to join the others on the third Sunday.
