Today Mark's The First Sunday Of Advent by apogeez(m): 5:20am On Nov 29, 2015 |
What Is Advent? Advent is the period of four Sundays and weeks before Christmas (or sometimes from the 1st December to Christmas Day!). Advent means 'Coming' in Latin. This is the coming of Jesus into the world. Christians use the four Sundays and weeks of Advent to prepare and remember the real meaning of Christmas. There are three meanings of 'coming' that Christians describe in Advent. The first, and most thought of, happened about 2000 years ago when Jesus came into the world as a baby to live as a man and die for us. The second can happen now as Jesus wants to come into our lives now. And the third will happen in the future when Jesus comes back to the world as King and Judge, not a baby. Some people fast (don't eat anything) during advent to help them concentrate on preparing to celebrate Jesus's coming. In many Orthodox and Eastern Catholics Churches, Advent lasts for 40 days and starts on normal last Sunday of November after Christ the king and is also called the Nativity Fast. cc. lalasticlala Source:http://bennnaji..com.ng/2015/11/first-sunday-of-advent_28.html 22 Likes 1 Share

I have a question for seun and lalasticlala. Why is it that anyone is alowed to come in and say anything they like in a purely christian thread, but if its anything that involves islam in anyway, you apply restrictions? Is nairaland a muslim site? Thank you. 4 Likes 2 Shares |
