Advent (Lat.
Adventus, ‘coming’, i.e. of Christ). The ecclesiastical season immediately before
Christmas. In the W. it begins on the Sunday nearest St
Andrew's Day (30 Nov.); in the E. in the middle of Nov. Though fasting is no longer ordered in the W., Advent is observed as a penitential season, in preparation not only for Christmas but also for the
Second Coming of Christ.
