AI overview

Advent is a period of spiritual preparation observed by most Christian churches that starts on the fourth Sunday before Christmas and focuses on waiting for both Jesus's birth celebration at Christmas and his promised future return. The season marks the beginning of the Christian liturgical year in Western Christianity and takes its name from the Latin word for "coming" or "arrival."
