    What is advent?
    The arrival of a notable person,
    thing or event.
    Is a season observed in many
    Christian churches as a time of
    expectant waiting and
    preparation for both the
    celebration of the Nativity of
    Jesus at Christmas and the
    return of Jesus at the Second
    Coming.The term is a version of
    the Latin word meaning
    "Coming"
    The Latin word adventus is the translation of the Greek word Parousia,
    commonly used to refer to the Second Coming of Christ.
    The season of advent anticipates the coming of Christ from 3 different
    perspective.
    :in the flesh in bethlehem, in our hearts daily, and in glory at the end of
    time.
    History
    It is known when the period of preparation for
    Christmas that is now called Advent first- began
    It was certainly in existence from about 480-
    introduced by the Council of Tours of 567 was to
    order monks to fast everyday in the month of
    december until christmas
    According to Saint Gregory of tours the
    celebration of advent began in the fifth century
    when the bishop Perpetuus directed that
    starting with the feast of St. Martin, 11
    november until christmas, one fast three times
    per week. This is why advent is also named Lent
    of St. Martin.
    Advent wreath
    The concept of the Advent wreath is
    originated among german Lutherans in the
    16th century. However, it wasnot until three
    centuries later that the modern advent
    wreath took shape.
    The modern advent wreath representing the
    sundays of advent, originated from an 1839
    initiative by Johann Hinrich Wichern, a
    protestan pastor in germany and a pioneer
    in urban mission work among the poor.
    The wreath- made of various evergreens, (continous
    life)
    The circle- which has no beggining or end (eternity of
    God, the immortality of the soul, and rhe everlasting
    life we find in Christ.)
    The four Candles- represents the four weeks of advent,
    and one candle is lit each Sunday
    Three of the candles are purple because the color
    violet is a liturgical color that signifies a time of prayer,
    penance, and sacrifice.
    The first candle (purple)
    symbolizes hope. It
    sometimes called the
    "Prophecy Candle" In
    remembrance of the
    Prophets, especially Isaiah,
    who foretold the birth of
    christ.
    The second candle, also
    purple represents faith. It
    is caleed the "Bethlehem
    Candle" as a reminder of
    Mary and Joseph's journey
    to Bethlehem.
    The third candle is pink and
    symobolizes Joy. It is called the
    "Shepard's Candle".
    and is pink because rose is a
    liturgical color for joy. The third
    sunday is Gaudete Sunday and
    is meant to remind us of the joy
    that the world experienced at
    the birth of Jesus.
    On the fourth week of advent,
    we light the final purple candle
    to mark the final week of
    prayer and penance as we wait
    for the birth of our savior.
    "Angel's Candle" symbolizes
    peace. It reminds us of the
    message of the angels: "Peace
    on Earth, God will Toward Men"
    The white candle is placed
    in the middle of the
    wreath and lit on christmas
    Eve. "Christ Candle"
    reresent the life of christ
