Such a calendar can also be educational, simply by inserting in it Bible verses or activity cards.

How to experience Advent well?
Wondering how to experience Advent to prepare well for Christmas? To properly prepare for Advent, make sure you know what it actually is. In this part of the article, we answer the most common questions about Advent.
What is Advent?
Advent – what is its meaning? The name Advent comes up from the Latin word adventus, which means ‘the coming of the king’. It is a time of anticipation for Christmas, the festival established to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ. It lasts for about four weeks – covering the four Sundays before Christmas Eve. This time is meant to help prepare spiritually for Christmas and is also meant to remind Christians that they are looking forward to the coming of the saviour again.

Advent – how to explain to a child what it is?
Wondering how to prepare your children for Christmas and how to explain what Advent is in a simple way? Avoid difficult definitions. To begin with, you could say that this is a time of joyful anticipation of the birth of Jesus Christ and therefore of Christmas. It lasts for so many days so that we have time to prepare properly. It is worth emphasising that preparing for Christmas is not just about cleaning the house, cooking delicious food and preparing presents. Preparations for Christmas should also include souls – children can do this through good deeds, for example.
Advent. How do you explain to a child how many days are left until Christmas?
An Advent calendar will be helpful. They were created especially to show, in a way that is accessible to the youngest, how many days there are left until Christmas.
How long does Advent last in the church?
Wondering when Advent starts and how long it lasts? Advent always ends on 24.12, but the start date is movable. Advent can last from 23 to 28 days – it always includes the four Sundays leading up to Christmas. The first day of Advent begins the new liturgical year in the Catholic Church.
Why are ready-made Advent kits made for 24 days?

Why is there a 24-day Advent calendar? Are You wondering why the ready-made Advent kits have 24 windows when Advent in the church lasts from 23 to 28 days? The fact that modern ready-made Advent calendars are prepared for 24 days is precisely due to the variable duration of Advent. This makes it easier for manufacturers to prepare versatile products and also makes it possible to use multi-use Advent calendars. That is why in general, as a compromise, we count down the first 24 days of December.
How to experience Advent?

If you are a religious person, do something that will strengthen Your faith. This year, do some Christmas cleaning not only at home but also in Your soul. Go to confession, and make an effort to participate in the Rorate and Sunday Mass.
