'''Advent''' (from the [[Latin]] ''adventus'' meaning "coming" or "arrival") is the season before [[Christmas]]. It includes four Sundays starting with the one nearest [[Saint Andrew]]'s Day (November 30th) and marks the beginning of the church year.
Advent has been observed since the 6th century as a season of meditative anticipation for the day of [[Christmas]] and the celebration of [[Jesus]]' birth and his future [[Second Coming]].
