Advent calendar provides daily activities
Updated Nov. 26, 2024
Traditionally, an Advent calendar offers daily Scriptures, activities and prayer suggestions to help you spiritually prepare for the birth of Jesus. It begins with the first Sunday of Advent and ends with Christmas. The content of an Advent calendar may vary depending on the need of the person, family or group to include personal goals, treats for kids or acts of service so long as the purpose is the same. | 2024 Share Your Light Advent Calendar
There are several ready-made calendars online. You can also develop your own for your home or classroom.
