What Is Advent?

Drop down dew ye heavens from above. Let the earth be opened and bud forth the Savior. More about Advent The History, Customs and Folklore of Advent

What Is Advent? Christmas is here! Or is it? Before the end of October one sees the signs of Christmas everywhere. But by the time December 25 arrives, most people are "Christmased" out — too many parties, rich foods and stretched budgets. We Catholics don't need to draw our drapes and twiddle our thumbs while the rest of society is celebrating Christmas in advance. Instead, we can celebrate two seasons: Advent and Christmas. The Church begins a new Liturgical Year on the First Sunday of Advent (December 3rd). During the subsequent four weeks, she prepares with mounting expectation for the coming of Christ in a spirit of waiting, conversion and hope. Next

Thanks Salvation... These look like terrific advent activities.

Here is another advent calendar packed with Scripture and activities.

http://mountainviewlife.org/Advent2007.html

In 2007 our traditional Advent Calendar begins December 2, and Week
Four begins December 23. As a result, there is only one day to work
on the lessons for Week Four.

We have written two Advent Calendar Guides this year, giving you
the option to begin either on the traditional beginning date of
December 2, or a week earlier beginning November 25, giving you more
time to do the lessons in Week Four.

There are 58 pages of lessons divided into the Four Weeks of Advent.
The book is divided into sections for easier download.
