                    [Summary] => Except in the Holy Mass, the advent season is not popularly commemorated in the Philippines. The word advent is from the Latin word adventus, which means a coming. It is the season that is supposed to remind the faithful of the two advents of Christ: the first was His birth in Bethlehem, the second will be his His return to glory on the Day of Judgment. In other Catholic countries, it is observed like Lent, meaning it is commemorated with feasting, prayers and meditation. Originally its celebration began on St. Andrews Day (November 30), exactly four weeks before Christmas.
