Advent Calendar

This is a time in which Cristians are especially glad, because they are
preparing for the birth of Jesus. Avent begins four weeks before
Christmas, and there are many ways to mark this time. A typical one is a
wreath with four candles, one new one lit each week. Another one, which
we suggest, is a calendar with 24 windows to open, one each day. With
this Advent calendar, you will be able to learn more about the history of
Jesus each day!
