What is Advent?
The word ‘Advent’ comes from the Latin word ‘adventus,’ which means coming, or visit.
It’s the season of preparation before Christmas, when the global Church recognizes the time of expectant waiting and preparation for both the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus and the eventual time when Christ will, one day, make all things new.
When is Advent?
In 2019, Advent starts on December 1 and ends on December 24.
It always begins the fourth Sunday before Christmas Day, so the specific dates change from year to year.
