This is Advent. Today is the second of four Sunday's in Advent. Advent means to come. So during Advent we celebrate the coming of Jesus Christ into our world. We're getting ready to celebrate Christmas.
Advent is a time of preparation.
Advent prepares us for Christmas, when Jesus comes into our world and into our lives. Epiphany is a time when Jesus comes to live with us. Lent is a time when Jesus comes to die for us. Easter is a time when Jesus comes back from the dead for us. Pentecost is a time when the Holy Spirit comes to us.
