What happened on advent?
Nothing actually 'happened' at Advent. Advent is the time of the Church's year which starts around five weeks before Christmas on Advent Sunday. 'Advent' means 'waiting' and therefore it is the time when we look forward not only to the coming of Christ at Christmas but also to the Second Coming at the end of the world. Advent is a quiet, contemplative, reflective and penitent time which is then contrasted by the joy and excitement of Christmas.
