The Season of ** Advent **, which begins on a [|Sunday] about four weeks before Christmas Day, is celebrated by [|Catholic] and [|Anglican] Churches, as well as some others. It is a [|time] for people to prepare themselves for two different things: for the coming of the baby [|Jesus] and [|Christmas], and for the [|Second Coming] of Jesus, when he shall rule over all the [|Earth] in [|peace]. Not all [|Christian] people remember Advent. Some people use it as a time of [|fasting], study, [|meditation] and [|prayer]. Special Advent Calendars are made for children, with pictures or treats for each day of Advent.
