I grew up in a Christian home where we celebrated the true meaning of Christmas every year. However, I never knew what Advent really meant. Naively, I thought Advent was observed by a specific religion. About ten years ago I was seeing the word Advent and the phrase Advent study all over social media, so I decided to do some research and see what it really was about.
Simply put, Advent means expectantly waiting. We are expectantly waiting on the birth of our Savior.

What is Advent?
Advent is a period of waiting. It helps us to remember and celebrate the first coming of Jesus, His birth, and anticipate His second coming. Advent lasts the four Sundays leading up to Christmas Day. The Advent season is a beautiful time of focusing on the arrival of Jesus Christ. Observing Advent isn't specific to a religion or group of people. Advent is for all!

I wasn't familiar with it either. Later, I ended up in a church where they did celebrate it. But there was always a connection to the Second Coming. I'll check out what else you've written via your link.
