The Season of Advent.
The season of Advent is observed in the
Protestant Episcopal and Roman Catholic
churches preparatory time for the Feast OF
the Nativity of Christ. The season OF -four
weeks begins on the Sunday nearest St. An
drew's Day. The institution Of this season
dates back to the early centuries OF Christianity.
and al first WAS observed in the same peneten-
tial manner as Lent but about the 10th cent
ury the time was shortened 10 include the four
Sundays preceding Christmas. The Church Of
Milan observes to this day the ancient rite of a
six weeks Advent. Although not as rigorous
time OF religious exercise as Lent when Epis-
copalians and Catholics generally abstain from
amusements md practice religious acts of NOR
tfcarion, Advent is regarded and observed in
the churches AS season CT some relaxation from
the pleasures Of the world hence, orthodox
churchmen abstain TO some degree from the
gayeties Of the fall season. The Fridays are
days Of fasting, the Gloria Is omitted in tie
service, the vestments are of purple, and the
prayers and the exhor talioas Of the clergy have
special reference to the cry of preparation Of
John the Baptist. The Wednesday Friday and
Saturday immediately preceding Christmas are
the quarterly Emher days.
