What is Advent?
Advent is what we call the season leading up to Christmas. It
begins four Sundays before December 25, sometimes in the last weekend of
November, sometimes on the first Sunday in December. This year is starts December 2.
For four weeks, it’s as if we’re re-enacting, remembering the thousands of
years God’s people were anticipating and longing for the coming of God’s
salvation, for Jesus. That’s what advent means--coming.
