Question
1.    What is Advent?
In the Catholic Church, Advent is a period of preparation, extending over four Sundays, before Christmas.
Question #2  -  3
  1. What does the word Advent mean?
  2. What three things does Advent refer to?

The word Advent comes from the Latin advenio, "to come to," and refers to the coming of Christ. It refers, first of all, to our celebration of Christ's birth at Christmas, secondly, to the coming of Christ in our lives through grace and the Sacrament of Holy Communion, and finally, to His Second Coming at the end of time.
Our preparations, therefore, should have all three comings in mind. We need to prepare our souls to receive Christ worthily.
First We Fast, Then We Feast:
Questions #4  -  7
  1. What was Advent traditionally known as and what was it preceded by?

  1. How should Advent be marked?
  2. When Does Advent Start?
  3. Today, what has overtaken Advent, and what has it done to people?
Advent has traditionally been known as a "little Lent", and has always been preceded by a time of fasting, which makes the feast itself more joyful.
As in    Lent, Advent should be marked by increased prayer, fasting, and good works. While the Western Church no longer has a set requirement for fasting during Advent, the Eastern Church, both Catholic and Orthodox, continues to observe what is known as Philip's Fast, from November 15 until Christmas.
Sadly, Advent today has been overtaken by "the Christmas shopping season," so that by Christmas Day, many people no longer enjoy the feast.
The Symbols of Advent:
In its symbolism, the Church continues to stress the preparation for Advent. As during Lent, priests wear purple vestments, and the Gloria ("Glory to God") is omitted during Mass. The only exception is on the Third Sunday of Advent, known as Gaudete Sunday, when priests can wear rose-colored vestments. As on Laetare Sunday during Lent, this exception is designed to encourage us to continue our prayer and fasting, because we can see that Advent is more than halfway over.

Question #11
Describe the Advent Wreath Candles

Advent Wreath Candles

Set on the branches of the wreath are four candles: three purple candles and one pink candle. In the center of the wreath sits a white candle. As a whole, these candles represent the coming of the light of Christ into the world.

Questions #12  -  15
Tell what color candle is lit each Sunday of Advent, what it is called, and what it represents. Please Make three rows. Follow the sample. (See box below.   P. 43)


On the first Sunday of Advent, the first purple candle is lit. This candle is typically called the "Prophecy Candle" in remembrance of the prophets, primarily Isaiah, who foretold the birth of Christ. This candle represents hope or expectation in anticipation of the coming Messiah.
Each week on Sunday, an additional candle is lit. On the second Sunday of Advent, the second purple candle is lit. This candle typically represents love. Some traditions call this the "Bethlehem Candle," symbolizing Christ's manger.

On the third Sunday of Advent the pink, or rose-colored candle is lit. This pink candle is customarily called the "Shepherds Candle" and it represents joy.

On the fourth Sunday of Advent, the last purple candle is lit. This candle is often times called the "Angels Candle", is lit. It represents peace.

On Christmas Eve, the white center candle is traditionally lit. This candle is called the "Christ Candle" and represents the life of Christ that has come into the world. The color white represents purity. Christ is the sinless, spotless, pure Savior. Also, those who receive Christ as Savior are washed of their sins and made whiter than snow.
Celebrating with an Advent wreath during the weeks prior to Christmas is a great way for Christian families to keep Christ at the center of Christmas, and for parents to teach their children the true meaning of Christmas. Another Advent tradition that can be very meaningful and fun for children is to celebrate with the Jesse Tree.
