I can celebrate you, I can hold your joy
When the load is crushing and you’ve lost your voice
I can celebrate the promise your life holds
When the weariness bears heavy on your soul
—from the hymn “I Can Celebrate You” by Rev. Anna Strickland | @sanctifiedart

“Advent” comes from the Latin word adventus which means “coming”. The season of Advent is the first season of the Christian church year and encompasses the four weeks leading up to Christmas. It is a season of waiting and preparing for the coming of Christ on Christmas, which lasts for 12 days until Epiphany (January 6).
This Advent, we will be going through a series titled How does a weary world rejoice? created by A Sanctified Art. We hope these daily meditations will accompany and inspire you on your Advent journey!
