Advent is the time of year that celebrates the anniversary of Jesus coming to the earth, which is celebrated on Christmas Day. Traditions vary among cultures, but many celebrate this holiday.
Advent is a season of the feast observed in all Christian denominations as a period of anticipation and waiting for the celebration of Christ's Nativity at Christmas. Advent is also the start of the holy season in Eastern Christianity. Some celebrate the visit of the magis, called Ephipany in certain Christian demoninations, at the same time as Christmas.
There are various traditions that mark this festive season, which can make it very confusing for many people. They can differ a little from church to church. The most important thing is that it is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. During Advent celebrations, people celebrate the good season with family and friends, take joy in the Word of God, and give thanks to their heavenly Father for the blessed birth of Jesus Christ. They celebrate the gift of Jesus Christ by giving gifts to one another.
The traditional Advent calendar is celebrated through the use of candles. A wreath that hangs on the door of a house symbolizes the Hope obtained through Christ's birth. Many have a Christmas tree in their home decorated with beautiful twinkling lights. Some people adorn the outsides of their homes and trees with lights as well.
In December, the main event of Christmas is awaited and celebrated with great joy and happiness all over the world. Many attend church services on Christmas Eve, the night before Christmas. It is a time of gift giving on Christmas Day, December 25. The most important thing is that as Jesus was welcomed into the world by Mary and Joseph, the shepherds and angels, that it is a time to welcome him into the heart to experience the true spirit of Christmas.
