What is Advent?

                                  What Is Advent?

Advent is a season Portrayed in many Christian churches, awaiting the Nativity of Jesus at Christmas.
It starts on the 2nd of December every year and ends on the 24th of December. 
The word "Advent" is derived from the Latin word "Adventus" meaning "coming".

Some symbols of Advent are candles and a wreath.
There are 3 purple candles and 1 pink candle as well as an Advent wreath. The pink candle represents joy and the other 3 purple candles represent love, peace and hope.
One candle is lit every Sunday and sometimes a white candle is lit on Christmas day.
