What are Advent Calendars?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Advent calendars are a beloved holiday custom that came from the Christian religious practice. However, they have developed into mainstream symbols of expectation and fun during Christmas. The calendars are built to count down the days from December 1st to Christmas Day, December 25th, building fervor and anticipation for the occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, the calendars have Christian significance because they mark a month paving the way to the festival of the birth of Jesus Christ. The phrase “advent” itself signifies “arrival” or “coming” – meaning the anticipation of the birth of Jesus. A lot of Christian Advent calendars incorporate religious symbols or scripture readings. Each day’s opening serves as a sign of the spiritual significance of Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contemporary mainstream culture, advent calendars are in different forms, and their content is varied. Here are a few common features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Countdown<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
