Advent originated in the early Christian church as a time of preparation for the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ at Christmas. Its roots can be traced back to the 4th century in Gaul (modern-day France), where it was observed as a period of fasting and penance. The tradition evolved over the centuries, and by the 6th century, it became more standardized, incorporating themes of anticipation and hope. Today, Advent begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas and is observed by many Christian denominations worldwide.
