Mission & Faith Life
Advent
We are now in the Liturgical Season of Advent!
“Advent invites us to reflect on the enormity of how God touched humanity in the person of Jesus and how, as a consequence, we are able to encounter Jesus in and through our human experiences.”
~ Br Julian McDonald CFC.
What is the Advent Wreath?
The Advent wreath symbolises the four weeks of the Christian journey toward Christ’s coming. Its circular shape represents God’s eternal love, evergreen branches signify hope and life, and the four candles mark the weeks of Advent—hope, peace/faith, joy, and love—guiding believers in spiritual preparation for Christmas and the arrival of Jesus.
Why do Christians put up a Nativity scene for Christmas?
Christians put up a Nativity scene to remember Jesus’ humble birth and keep Christ at the centre of Christmas. The scene invites reflection on God’s love, encourages gratitude and peace, and reminds families of the hope and meaning behind the holiday amid the season’s busyness.
What has your journey toward Christmas been like so far?
