Advent

The church year begins with Advent, a season of preparation for the Lord's coming, which is 4 weeks before Christmas.

The season proclaims the coming of the Christ - whose birth we prepare to celebrate once again, who comes continually in Word and Spirit, and whose return in final victory we anticipate.

The liturgical colour for this season is purple symbolising penitance and preparation.

Here I am with my shifu, Irene Bronsveld, from the alto section.
