Advent (from the Latin word adventus meaning "comming") is a season observed in many Western Christian Churches, a time of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus at Christmas. It is the beginning of the Western liturgical year and commences on Advent Sunday, called Levavi. The Eastern Churches' equivalent of Advent is called the Nativity Fast.
