'''Advent''' indicates the beginning of the ecclesiastical year for the Christian Church, as the liturgical season prepatory to Christmas. In the Roman and derived calendars, it begins on the Sunday nearest St. Andrew's Day (Nov.30). While the origin of the liturgical Advent is undetermined, a synod at Sargossa in 380 prescribed a similar penitential preparation for Christmas.

Since about the 7th century, Advent has been a '''tempus clausum''' (closed season) during which marriage is not ordinarily solemnised. The Roman Advent liturgy, while penitential in tone and marked by the use of violet vestments, the substitution of folded chasubles (a sleeveless outer vestment) and the omission of the ''Te Deum'' in Matins and the ''Gloria'' in the Mass, abounds in allusions to the birth of Christ and draws its Lessons mostly from the prophecy of Isaiah. On the third Sunday, called ''Gaudete'' (Rejoice ye!), rose-coloured vestments are used and the organ may be played. Outside the Roman liturgy, the Book of Common Prayer also provides for the observance of Advent.

 By the 7th century, Advent had become a ''tempus clausum'' (closed season), during which the solemnisation of marriage was generally prohibited. The Roman Advent liturgy, though penitential in tone, is distinct from Lent, combining themes of repentance with the joyful anticipation of Christ's birth. The season is marked by the use of violet vestments, the substitution of folded chasubles (a sleeveless outer vestment) and the omission of the ''Te Deum'' in Matins and the ''Gloria'' in the Mass. However, Advent is also rich in scriptural references to the coming of Christ, particularly drawing from the prophecies of Isaiah, accentuating both the expectation of the Messiah's birth and the Second Coming.

+A notable feature of Advent is the third Sunday, known as ''Gaudete'' Sunday (from the Latin for "Rejoice ye!"), which provides a moment of joyful anticipation within the otherwise solemn season. On this day, rose-coloured vestments may be worn and the organ, typically restrained during Advent, may be played.
