Advent/Christmas 2020 - 2021 St. Basil’s Church
Advent has a twofold nature: it prepares us for Christmas, when we recall Christ’s first coming among us, and it is also a time when we look forward to his second coming at the end of the ages. It is a season of joyful expectation. Let us ponder the real meaning of the Advent-Christmas season as one which reflects the joy of God’s interaction with us, coming as the Word made flesh, and as the long-awaited hope in our lives, in our midst and in our world.
