Advent

Advent is a Christian season that marks the period of preparation for the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ at Christmas. It typically begins four Sundays before Christmas and lasts until Christmas Eve. During Advent, many Christians focus on themes of hope, peace, joy, and love, often through prayer, reflection, and special traditions like the Advent calendar or wreath. The season encourages a spirit of anticipation and readiness, both for Christmas and for the second coming of Christ. Advent is observed in various ways across different denominations, reflecting its significance in the Christian faith.
