What Is Advent Season? A Closer Look at the Christian Tradition

Advent Season is a very special time of year that sometimes gets lost in the bright lights of the Christmas season it precedes. The first day of Advent is the first day of a new Liturgical (or church) calendar and begins a four-week period of preparation for the nativity of Jesus Christ at Christmas. There are many different Christian traditions associated with the four weeks of Advent. Do come and learn more about Advent.
