The Advent season is a time of preparation that directs our hearts and minds to Christ’s second coming at the end of time and also to the annual celebration of the Lord’s birth on Christmas. The final days of Advent, from December 17 to December 24, focus particularly on our preparation for the Nativity of the Lord.

Advent devotions including the Advent wreath, remind us of the meaning of the season. An Advent calendar (Spanish) can help you fully enter in to the season with daily activity and prayer suggestions to prepare you spiritually for the birth of Jesus Christ.
