December 01 – December 24
“Advent” means “coming” or “arrival.” During the season of Advent, we celebrate Christ’s coming into the world and watch with expectant hope for his coming again. In its historical origins, the season of Advent was patterned after the season of Lent, a six-week period of penitence and preparation for Easter.
Similarly, the four weeks of Advent present an opportunity for communal discernment and personal examination, as the church prepares to celebrate the Nativity of the Lord and looks with hope for Christ’s return.
Print the 25 Names of Jesus Advent Calendar to record the different names for Jesus each day of Advent. Each day provides a different passage from Scripture, select the verse to read and reflect before recording the answer on the scroll for that day.
