Advent: a time of preparation and reflection before Christmas

Advent is an important period in the Christian calendar, marking a time of spiritual preparation and expectation before Christmas, the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. The word "Advent" comes from the Latin adventus, meaning "coming" or "advent". In this context, it refers to the coming of the Messiah, announced in the Old Testament and awaited by believers. The season of Advent begins four Sundays before 25 December and therefore lasts around four weeks, although its length may vary slightly from one year to the next. It is a period dedicated to meditation, spiritual reflection, prayer, and good deeds, in order to prepare minds and hearts for the celebration of the Nativity. Read more...
