Advent and Christmas

The four weeks leading up to Christmas Eve and the birth of Christ are called Advent. Advent means coming or arrival. Today, we live between God’s first and second Advent. God’s first arrival into the world through the Christ Child, and God’s second arrival into the world in the fullness of time through the Risen Christ. Each week, in our Communion dialogue, we call it the “mystery of faith” Christ is born. Christ has died. Christ has risen. Christ will come again.
