a symbolizing of the advents

The word Advent literally means "coming" or "arrival." It is derived from the Latin word adventus, which means an approach, arrival, or a drawing near. While it can be used in everyday language to describe the arrival of an important person, event, or invention (e.g., "the advent of the internet"), its most significant usage is in the Christian tradition.

(read Exodus 12:1-14 ) The event of the Passover from Egypt marked the beginning of the calendar for Israel. This month would be the first month of the year for them. Their new life of freedom would begin with the Passover.
