5 Days Before Christmas - Advent
5 Days na lang at Christmas na. Kaya gusto kong mag countdown by counting the Filipino customs and traditions during this Holiday seasons. My seventh item Advent.Advent sa Latin adventus, ang ibig sabihin ay "coming". Ito ang panahon ng paghahada ng Christian churches para sa pagdiriwang ng Nativity of Jesus sa Christmas. Ang Advent ay nagsisimula sa ika apat na linggo bago mag December 25.
Kadalasan ay kulay purple ang mga gayak sa simbahan. Sa altar naman ay mayroon ding 4 na kandila. Ang bawat isa ay sumasagisag sa isang Lingo. Sa iba naman ay may 3 purple at isang rose candle.

ReplyDelete5 days before Christmas and yet I can't feel the spirit of Christmas here in Baguio City. Maybe because we still have to work until the 24th; we simply missed too many working days during the typhoons. But anyway, Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHi Jag- Purple speaks of fasting, faith, patience and trust. It is the liturgical color used during seasons of penance, Advent and Lent.
