Advent
Advent, the season of preparation for Christmas, has roots that trace back to the early Christian church, but it became more formally recognized by the 6th century. The specific practices and duration of Advent evolved over time, with the Western Church observing it as a period of fasting and penance. By the end of the 6th century, Advent had developed into a distinct liturgical season, typically lasting four weeks leading up to Christmas.
