FAQs

What is Advent?

Advent is an important season for Christians in which we celebrate Christ’s birth and watch hopefully for Christ to come again. We celebrate four themes during advent: hope, peace, joy, and love. Advent occurs in the four weeks before Christmas. In 2026, the first Sunday of Advent is Sunday, November 29. Learn more.
