Celebrating Advent: Week 4

Celebrating Advent: Week 1

The four weeks prior to Christmas are known as Advent. It is traditionally a time of preparation and reflection on both the incarnation and the eventual end of all suffering when Jesus returns in glory and completes the work of restoration and recreation.
