Lots of children look forward to getting an Advent calendar for December. But what is Advent? In western churches it begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas. That is the Sunday closest to St Andrew's Day (30th November). An Advent calendar always starts on 1st December. In Eastern Orthodox and Catholic Churches, Avent is a time of abstinence and penance, forty days before Christmas Day. It is called the Nativity Fast. The believers go without meat, fish, dairy produce, eggs, oil and wine, between dawn and dusk. They are thinking about the coming of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in the flesh (and the Second Coming). It is good for body and spirit. An Advent calendar is a mockery of this if it contains chocolate or wine - that's not abstinence! And beauty products?
