Advent is the name for the period before Christmas in Christianity. The name advent comes from the Latin word adventus, which means coming. During the Advent period, Christians prepare for Christmas, and the birth and second coming of Jesus are commemorated.

In recent years, the Advent calendar has spread to many Christian countries, but increasingly also to a number of non-Christian countries.
