The same sacraments that should be received all year: confession and Holy Communion.
In the Traditional Roman Rite the Alleluia is used on Sundays of Advent along with the Gradual, but if the Mass from the Sunday is used during the week the Alleluia is omitted. It is not omitted during Advent in the Divine Office.
Confirmation takes place during the time when a child reach their 12 years old age. Only those already baptized can and should receive this sacrament which can be received only once. To receive Confirmation efficaciously the candidate must be in the state of grace.
The 4 weeks of Advent recall the 4000 years the Jews waited for the arrival of the Messiah. For us today it should be a time of anticipation, reflexion and preparation as we look forward to the coming of Our Lord at Christmas.
It is a sacrament... I guess you could call it a tradition, but it should be mentioned that it is a sacrament, and it was a rule instated by God.
A greedy person should have at least 31 advent calenders. 1 for each day!
Liturgy should be fruitful meaningful what for you is meaningful celebration of the eucharist other sacrament?
One could argue Baptism, but it should be understood the Eucharist is itself a sacrament often called the Blessed Sacrament , although all have divine Grace.
Yes, "Advent" should be capitalized because it is a proper noun referring to the period of time before Christmas in Christian traditions.
As far as my knowledge reaches, Christian Catholicism is the only religion known to practice the anointing of the sick or also known as last rites. Last rites involves receiving the Eucharist and an anointing of oil. People who are on the verge of death, or seem to be, or are going in for a serious surgery that could end in death, and are Catholic, may receive this sacrament. If one is not confirmed, has not had a first communion Eucharist, baptized or had a confession, then these are all part of the last rites that are being administered. if one has received all these sacraments, then the Eucharist is the only sacrament received along with the anointing, although confession may be a part of it as well.
The Advent candles should be lit on the four Sundays leading up to Christmas, starting on December 3rd in 2017.

Catholic AnswerThe Sacrament of Reconciliation needs a penitent (the person confessing their sins) and a priest (God's representative who is giving the absolution). The priest should be wearing a stole, but this is not strictly necessary for the validity of the sacrament.
