What is Advent, Again?

The season of Advent began yesterday, December 1st, 2013. 

"Advent" comes from the Latin word adventus, which means "arrival". It is a season of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus at Christmas. 

That is why Advent comes before Christmas; we are waiting and preparing to celebrate!
