Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany

Sunday November 30, 2008
From the last Sunday in November in 2008 until Christmas, it's Advent, time to sing Christmas Carols in Latin. Learn the Latin words to O Come All Ye Faithful (Adeste Fideles), Veni, Emmanuel (O Come, Emmanuel), Once in Royal David's City (Regis olim urbe David), and Rudolphus, the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

The About.com Guide to Catholicism has devoted many pages to the topic. See:
Advent.
Read about the birth of Jesus in the Synoptic Gospels:

The 12 days of Christmas end with Epiphany
