28

29
13
Advent was established in the sixth century by Pope Gregory.
30
14
Advent always begins four Sundays before Christmas, on the Sunday closest to the feast of St. Andrew the  Apostle (November 30th).
31
15
Advent continues until December 24th.
32
16
If Christmas Eve is on a Sunday it is also the fourth Sunday of Advent. Christmas Eve officially begins at  sundown when it falls on a Sunday.
33
17
Advent is the beginning of the liturgical calendar year. Advent has been the beginning of the church year since the 900’s.
34
18
The word Advent comes from the Latin word adventus, which means coming.
35
19
In the early church Advent was a time of prayer and confession. Today, it’s more a time for preparation and  anticipation of the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
36
20
The season of Advent has both a joyful and penitential spirit.
37
21
The traditional color of Advent is purple (or violet), which symbolizes the penitential spirit. Purple also  symbolizes royalty, and we are awaiting the arrival of a King – our Lord, Jesus Christ.
38
22
The Advent wreath is made up of two parts – the wreath and the candles.
39
23
The wreath is made of evergreen, which symbolizes growth and everlasting life.
40
24
The wreath’s shape of a circle represents eternity since it has no beginning and no end. It also symbolizes the  immortality of the soul and the everlasting life found in Jesus Christ.
41
25
The Advent wreath has three purple candles and one pink candle. They represent the four weeks of our  preparation before the coming of our Lord.
42
26
Each week represents one thousand years, so in total four thousand years from the time of Adam and Eve until the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
43
27
Every week of Advent one candle is lit. As each new candle is lit during the journey of Advent, we draw closer to  the coming of our Lord and are reminded of Christ’s presence through the light of the candles burning brighter  each week. 
44
28
The lighting of the candles not only symbolizes the Lord’s first coming, but also the anticipation of his second  coming.
