advento

Allelujah (John Cale performing Leonard Cohen)

"From the latin word adventus, meaning "coming", is a season of the christian church, the period of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration (...) The progression of the season may be marked with an advent calendar, a practice introduced by german Lutherans (...) Latin adventus is the translation of the greek word parousia, commonly used in reference to the second coming."
