But what is Advent, really? Advent is the beginning of the new liturgical year for the Roman Catholic Church. On the first Sunday of Advent, which begins on December 2nd this year, the Church celebrates its own kind of New Year's Day. Advent begins each year on the Sunday closest to November 30th, which is the feast day of Saint Andrew the Apostle. But actually, Advent is a time of preparation all its own. Christmas doesn't actually begin until the first Mass is celebrated on Christmas Eve, and then we enter the beautiful season of Christmas and Christmastide. Advent is given to us as a time to prepare our souls for the coming of the Lord. This season is very similar to Lent, so its nickname is the "Little Lent." In our current culture, we are tempted to skip over the penitential aspects of Advent and focus on the joy of Christmas. This is a great tragedy. Focusing on the joy alone denies a crucially important truth: that the Christ Child is Our Lord and Savior, Who will suffer and die for our salvation. Advent has been around for a long time, long before it was actually called "Advent," and possibly as early as the 2nd century. Originally, it was celebrated for 40 days, just like the Lenten season. This has now been adjusted to four weeks, but the symbolism remains. You may notice another similarity to Lent when you attend Mass during this Advent season. Although we still sing the Alleluia before the Gospel reading, we no longer sing the song of the angels: the Gloria. We will wait to sing this song anew with the angels on Christmas day, just as they did over two thousand years ago. Since circles have no beginning and no end, the circular shape of many Advent wreaths is used to symbolize God the Father and eternal life. The wreath (or candleholder) holds four Advent candles which are lit one by one throughout the four weeks of Advent. The burning flame is a visual reminder that Christ is "the light of the world." (John 8:12) There are three violet (purple) candles and one rose (pink) candle, each representing 1,000 years. Added together, the four candles symbolize the 4,000 years that humanity waited for the Savior.
