The new liturgical year begins on 22 November and starts with the season of Advent, on Sunday, 28 November.

The word “Advent” is derived from a Latin root which means “coming” or “arrival”, and the season was developed in the Church as a preparation for the festival of the birth of Christ.

The liturgical colour is purple, symbolising penitence and preparation.

The Advent wreath consists of four candles surrounding one white candle. Each candle is successively lit to mark the four Sundays in Advent. The white candle is lit on Christmas Day and it marks the beginning of Christmastide.

The Advent wreath helps us to focus our thoughts and awareness towards the birth of our Saviour.
