ADVENT, CHRISTMAS AND EPIPHANY....
Advent From the Latin word Adventus, meaning ‘coming’. Advent is the first season of the church year. It begins four Sundays before Christmas and is set aside as a season to prepare for Christmas, Christ’s first coming, and to remember that he will come again Christmas is the eleven days from Christmas Day until January 6, the start of Epiphany. It is a time for remembering Jesus’s birth and contemplating the Incarnation - God entering our human condition in the form of a child Epiphany From January 6 until Ash Wednesday, which begins the season of Lent, is the season of Epiphany, which means ‘revealing’ or ‘showing forth’ |
