Today is the first Advent Sunday of this season. Advent means ‘Coming‘ in Latin. It is a time to “get ready” for the celebration of Christmas. (The first candle represents HOPE, as all good altar boys know. I didn’t just joke around at St. John’s; once in a blue moon, I paid attention.)
Advent is the period of four Sundays and weeks before Christmas (those trying to figure out their Advent Calendars, you may open the first window, though the chocolate probably isn’t very good.)
