  2. Advent. Prepared by. • Advent is a season observed in many Western Christian churches as a time of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus at Christmas. • Advent starts on the fourth Sunday before December 25, which is the Sunday between November 27 and December 3 inclusive.

Christmas is the season of Christ's arrival and fulfillment of the waiting for Messiah. The hope of Christians is in the Second Coming of Christ. • Week Two: The Candle of Peace (Purple) • The second week, the first candle is lit again and the second purple candle is lit in the representation of peace.
