  The Christian calendar begins with the season of Advent. Christ the Judge and anticipated Messiah is emphasized in this season. This season begins four Sundays before Christmas Day. It is a time of preparation for the coming of Christ. Advent focuses on preparation, anticipation and the forerunners of Christ, like John the Baptist. Hopes, dreams and waiting are the themes of Advent. The colour of Advent is purple, symbolizing penitence and preparation.

  ya...Advent is the beginning of a new church year and for RC, this is the time to switch the Missals to another year cycle.
  
  Not only does advent observe the first coming of the Redeemer, Christ Jesus the Lord. Moreso, it prepares and reminds us the imminent Second Coming of His.
