The Latin word adventus is the translation of the Greek word parousia, (/pəˈruːziə/; Greek: παρουσία) meaning presence, arrival, or official visit.
Christians commonly use Advent to refer to the Second Coming of Christ. The season anticipates the Messiah's arrival from these different perspectives:
- in the flesh in Bethlehem,
- in our hearts daily, and
- in glory at the end of time.
It is customary to put up Christmas decorations at this time. Advent also marks the beginning of the Western liturgical year.
Time for me to reboot this blog. This officially marks my renewed commitment as a holistic healer. Sharing what blessing and grace I receive with our online community or anyone interested.
