Season of Advent "Coming" of Christ, the Messiah! ^___^ by ArtOf Nyxography on Friday, December 24, 2010 at 3:34am Source: Wikipedia Advent(from the Latin wordadventusmeaning"coming") is aseasonobserved in many WesternChristian churches, a time of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of theNativity of JesusatChristmas. At least in theRoman Catholic, Anglican, LutheranandMethodist calendars, Advent starts on thefourth Sunday beforeDecember 25. Latinadventusis the translation of the Greek word parousia, commonly used in reference to theSecond Coming of Christ. For Christians, theseason of Advent (coming) serves a reminder both of the original waiting that was done by theHebrewsfor the birth of their Messiahas well as thewaiting of Christians for Christ's return.^____^ The theme of readings and teachings during Advent is often to prepare for theSecond Comingwhile commemorating the First Coming of Christ at Christmas. With the view of directing the thoughts of Christians to the first coming ofJesus Christ as savior and to his second coming as judge, special readings are prescribed for each of the four Sundays in Advent. (LOL! THEN WHY IS IT THAT IT SEEMS TO BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR PROFESSING "CHRISTIANS" THAT THE LORD WOULD COME AGAIN AT CHRISTMAS! LOL! XD SUNDAY IS NOT THE HOLY DAY OF THE LORD. SABBATH DAY IS SATURDAY. TOMORROW, IS SATURDAY, DECEMBER 25, CHRISTMAS DAY. XD) In Advent, theAdvent Prose, anantiphonal plainsong, may be sung. The "Late Advent Weekdays", December 17–24, mark the singing of theGreat Advent'O antiphons'. These are the antiphons for the Magnificat atVespers, or Evening Prayer (in the Roman Catholic and Lutheran churches) and Evensongin Anglican churches each day andmark the forthcoming birth of the Messiah.They form the basis for each verse of the popular Advent hymn, "O come, O come, Emmanuel".
