Portrait of the Catholic Organization Adveniat

Advent is a time of quiet reflection and anticipation

In the 6th century, Pope Gregory decreed there should be four Advent Sundays before Christmas, referring to the four thousand years which – in the Church’s view – mankind had to wait for the return of its savior. Adveniat is a Catholic organization in Germany with a similar name.

教會年曆

將臨期降臨節(拉丁文: Adventus;英文:Advent)是基督宗教教會的重要節期,是歡慶耶穌聖誕前的準備期與等待期,亦可算是教會的新年。拉丁文Adventus意指即將到來,意義上除了古代希伯來人等待彌賽亞(救主)到來之外,另也包括基督徒等待耶穌的再次降臨。

將臨期起自聖誕節前四週,由最接近11月30日主日算起直到聖誕節。西方基督教教會曆一年始於將臨期的第一主日(東正教教會曆一年則始於9月1日。)

將臨期的節慶,主要為羅馬天主教聖公宗信義宗所緊守。整個將臨期一般採用的禮儀顏色紫色藍色。但降臨第三主日,俗稱「喜樂主日」,可用粉紅色

教會都會在將臨期放一個花環,裡面有三枝紫色的蠟燭、一枝粉紅色的蠟燭以及一枝白蠟燭,叫作將臨花環,每一主日燃點一枝蠟燭。

advent:(1)將臨期:耶穌聖誕前四週的準備期,以便迎接耶穌的來臨。將臨期第一主日為教會禮儀年的開始。(2)再臨:基督第二次來臨。拉丁文作 adventus。

Advent of Christ:耶穌來臨:一般指世界末日時,耶穌第二次來臨審判世人。而耶穌第一次來臨是指祂(兩千年前)在巴勒斯坦降生成人、傳佈福音、救贖世人。

advent wreath:將臨期花環;將臨圈:是由冬青樹或其它樹葉所作的花環,附有四支蠟燭;將臨期在聖堂彌撒中或家中(晚餐時)點燃;將臨期第一主日點一支,第二主日點兩支,以此類推。到聖誕節時,將此花環置於聖誕像前。此風始自民間預備迎接聖誕節之用。
