Be Prepared for Christmas
The first Sunday in Advent, on December 3, is a “mov
able feast.” It is a period of preparation for Christmas
that always begins on the Sunday closest to St.
Andrew’s Day (November 30) and lasts until Christmas.
Advent is, literally, “coming” in Latin, in this case, the
coming of Jesus. In the Roman Catholic Church it is
also a period of fasting. More generally, it is seen as a
season of penitence in preparation for the holy day. Its
liturgical color is purple. St. Andrew is usually depicted
as an old man with a long white
beard, leaning on his cross and
carrying the Gospel.
A small gift is better than
a great promise.
