'''Advent''' only starts once Karyn has changed her Facebook profile picture. Also advent is a season observed in most [[Christian denomination]]s as a time of expectant waiting and preparation for both the celebration of the [[Nativity of Christ]] at [[Christmas]] and the return of [[Jesus in Christianity|Christ]] at the [[Second Coming]]. Advent is the beginning of the [[liturgical year]] in [[Western Christianity]]. The name was adopted from Latin {{lang|la|adventus}} "coming; arrival", translating [[Koine Greek|Greek]] {{lang|el|[[parousia]]}} from the [[New Testament]], originally referring to the Second Coming.
The season of Advent in the Christian calendar anticipates the "coming of Christ" from three different perspectives: the physical nativity in [[Bethlehem]], the reception of Christ in the heart of the believer, and the [[Christian eschatology|eschatological]] Second Coming.{{efn|
