Advent consists of the four Sundays leading up to Christmas, marking the beginning of the Christian liturgical year. Each Sunday symbolizes a week of preparation for the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. The tradition of having four Sundays reflects both the anticipation of Christ’s coming and the themes of hope, peace, joy, and love, often represented by the candles in the Advent wreath. This structure helps the faithful engage in a period of reflection and spiritual readiness.
