In Christianity, second coming is also known as second advent or Parousia. We don't know when
the second coming of Christ is, but we must repent our sins and receive God's forgiveness
before it’ll happen. we are made right with God and ready to receive Christ. Let us fervently ask
God to create the world we hope for. We would have no life and would be trapped in sin with
no hope if he had not died. We are alive in Christ because of his death, and we have forgiveness
of sins as well as the prospect of a future and hope.

Advent is observed on four consecutive Sundays, commencing on the last Sunday of November,
and concluding on Christmas Eve, December 24. Each Sunday has a traditional meaning as well
as prayers and readings assigned to it; the circular shape and the evergreen material make the
wreath a representation of eternal life. It is also a representation of faith. On top of the wreath,
there are 4 candles. They represent the 3 purple candles as love, hope, and peace while the pink
candle represents joy. Lastly, the white candle in the middle represents the Christ candle and
will be lighten during the mass of the Christmas Eve. Spiritually, it is intended to be a celebration
of Jesus' earthly birth around 2,000 years ago. It is as well as preparation and anticipation for
Christ's second coming.
