What is Advent?
Advent is an important part of the Christian calendar. It means 'coming' and it's the period before Christmas which celebrates the birth of Jesus. It is all about preparing for Christmas Day. Advent starts on the Sunday nearest to 30th November - four weekend's before Christmas.
So in 2023, it actually started on Sunday 3rd December and will be observed until Friday 24th December.
