Advent is about not only thanking God for Christ's first coming to Earth as a baby, but also for his presence among us today through the His Holy Spirit and in preparation and anticipation of his final coming at the end of the age.

The word advent means "arrival" or "coming," particularly the coming of something having great importance. Advent season, then, is both a time of joy-filled, anticipatory celebration of the arrival of Jesus Christ.
