Religious Education

Advent begins this Sunday, 3rd December.

Advent is the beginning of the Liturgical Year and is a time for anticipation, preparation, joy and hope. We use it to grow in our understanding of Christian joy and hope and of what we celebrate at Christmas. During Advent we celebrate and prepare to remember Jesus' entry into the world at Christmas and it is a way of preparing for the coming of Christ at the end of time. It helps reveal to us what it means to have a deep concern for human well-being, for what Jesus called the "Kingdom of God". 

The colour of Advent is violet or a shade of purple. A widespread practice during Advent is the use of an Advent Wreath. A new candle is lit on each of the four Sundays of Advent. However, it is important to note that the candle lit on the third Sunday of Advent is rose or pink symbolising joy. The candle lit on Christmas day is white. Advent calendars are often used to focus on how we prepare for Christmas.

Please ask your child/ren what they have been learning about Advent.
