Fr. Kelly: A brief history on the season of Advent: Part I: Today we celebrate the First Sunday of Advent, that sacred time of year in which we prepare ourselves to welcome into our hearts the Christ child at Christmas. For the next several weeks, I would like to give a very brief history of the Advent season and offer some reflections on its various practices as we prepare for the celebration of Christmas. The name Advent comes from the Latin word Adventus, which means “a coming.” Based on writings as far back as the fifth century, we know that Advent has been observed in some fashion since then, and likely even earlier. The observance of this time of year in preparation for Christmas has undergone various developments and taken on various forms, but the heart of it was twofold: works of penance and various prayers. Originally, in the 5th century, the observance of Advent began on St. Martin of Tours’ feast day, November 11th, and would conclude on Christmas Day, December 25th. This became known as “St. Martin’s Lent” and was viewed as a sort of ‘second Lent’ in the Church’s liturgical year. Later on, in about the 9th century, ‘St. Martin’s Lent’ was reduced in many places from the 40-day observance to four weeks, as we have it in the present day, thus giving the season of Advent four Sundays, the last one falling on the week of Christmas. Throughout the Middle Ages and beyond, several popes and bishops, including St. Charles Borromeo, encouraged fasting through Advent for those both in the religious state and the lay faithful. Today, while it is not a requirement or law for Catholics to fast during Advent, some clergy, religious, and lay faithful have taken it as a practice for themselves to perform some small act of penance during the season of Advent in keeping with the ancient tradition of the Church during this time of ‘waiting’ for the celebration of the Lord’s birth. Advent is also a time in which Catholics will oftentimes come to the Sacrament of Confession to renew and prepare themselves for the celebration of Christ’s birth. I would encourage you to encounter our merciful Lord in the Sacrament of Confession this Advent, as a way of preparing your heart to welcome our Savior at Christmas. Let us use this season to reflect upon God’s goodness and the bountiful mercies He bestows upon us. O Come, O Come, Emmanuel!
