What is Advent?
In 2024, Advent is observed from December 1 to December 24. Within the Church calendar, Advent unfolds over the four Sundays leading up to Christmas Day — offering a dedicated time to anticipate the arrival of Jesus of Nazareth, the long-anticipated Messiah and King. Christians of various denominations commemorate this period by contemplating the themes of hope, peace, love, and joy. Despite differences in observances, they all center their attention on the hopeful arrival of Jesus.
