Advent
The Season of Advent is a time of preparing for and looking forward to Christmas. Parish communities should keep the season as a special time of encounter with Christ.
The word “Advent” means coming, arrival, approach.
The season of Advent has two themes: the coming of Christ in our human flesh at
Christmas, and Christ’s second coming in power and glory for judgement.Advent is a penitential season to prepare for the feast of the Incarnation: hence purple vestments and the omission of the Gloria at Mass.
