ADVENT

Advent is a season of anticipation and preparation observed marking the beginning of the liturgical year. It encompasses the four Sundays leading up to Christmas Day. The word "advent" comes from the Latin word "adventus," meaning "coming" or "arrival." During this period, Christians reflect on the significance of the coming of Jesus Christ, not only as an historical event, but also as a symbol of hope and promise. Advent is characterized by the lighting of candles on an Advent wreath, each representing different themes such as hope, peace, joy, and love. It is a time for spiritual reflection, prayer, and a sense of expectation, fostering a deep connection to the spiritual aspects of the Christmas season.
