Roman Catholic Advent Season
The Advent Wreath
What is Advent? The Roman Catholic Advent Season is the liturgical season previous to Christmas. It is a warm season filled with the anticipation of the coming of Jesus, the Advent of Jesus. There are four Sundays in Advent, each one represents one of the four thousand years that mankind awaited its savior. One of the most memorable Christmas traditions
is lighting the Advent candles in the Advent wreath and saying Advent prayers in anticipation of the Christmas season. Advent books have many good ideas for encouraging devotion during the Advent Season.
"The ecclesiastical year begins on the first Sunday of Advent, that is, on the Sunday nest, whether before or after, the feast of St. Andrew the Apostle, November 30.
"Following this are the four weeks of Advent and the Christmas festivals, ending with the Epiphany, January 6.
"The Sundays that follow are called the first, the second, and so forth, after the Epiphany. they are never more than six in number, and their series is, as a rule, interrupted by the coming of Septuagesima Sunday, which is the ninth before Easter and the first of those on which the liturgy is of a penitential character." (Fr. Lassance Missal p. 1622)
Christmas traditions depend upon the birth of Christ. It is Jesus' Birthday! It is what mankind had hoped for since God's promise to Adam. It was the first manifestation that our hope is true! Every year we commemorate this pivotal point in history by preparing our own hearts and homes for the coming of Jesus.

Christmas Traditions
The Roman Catholic Advent Season sets our minds in a hopeful direction for the true spirit of Christmas. The Advent prayers teach us to prepare for Jesus in a way that we could imitate every time that we intend to receive Holy Communion! One of the best Advent books is a Catholic Missal. Use the Proper of the Mass prayers and then use the Epistles and Gospels as Advent readings from scripture.
Many Christmas gift ideas remind us of older Christmas traditions that reflect the true spirit of Christmas. Giving a Catholic Rosary, a Catholic Bible, and Catholic books
is a great start!
Please remember our Catholic priests, seminarians, and military at this Gift Center during the Roman Catholic Advent Season. The registries here work like a bridal registry and help us send our Christmas traditions to their distant homes so that they can remember the Roman Catholic Advent Season and Christmas customs with the warmth that comes from home.
