Explanation Of The Difficult Words:
As Advent is the term used to describe the time when Christians prepare for the birth of Jesus, that is, for Christmas. The word Advent comes from the Latin word adventus, which means arrival. Here in our country, Advent is associated with an Advent wreath with its four candles, and among children, the Advent calendar with its 24 little doors is especially popular.
