Read the following passage and answer the following questions.
PARAGRAPH I
The holy season of Advent has begun. Advent is the time to open our hearts to welcome Jesus Christ in simplicity and humility. It’s a preparatory period of four Sundays, leading up to the Nativity at Christmas. It is marked by a spirit of expectation, waiting, preparation and longing.
PARAGRAPH II
The word ‘Advent’ is derived from the Latin word ‘adventus’, which means ‘coming’. It is the solemn preparation for the arrival of Jesus with prayers, fasting, spiritual exercises, good works and holiness of life. This sacred period is observed as a time of preparation for the celebration of the birth of Christ at Christmas, December 25.
PARAGRAPH III
This long waiting period of four Sundays and weeks, helps the faithful to reflect upon the Word of God, sacred mystery, devotion and ceremony. It is waiting in expectation of Jesus, the Son of God, who comes as a human being to love, forgive and share with humanity his divinity. He is the image of God’s love to humankind.
PARAGRAPH IV
The tradition of preparing an Advent Wreath is significant during this season. It consists of evergreen branches with five candles. The advent wreath with candles connotes Jesus as the Light of the world. The wreath made of evergreens with candles placed on it means continuous life, and its circular form depicts everlasting life. Fruits like nuts, cones and seed pods that are used to decorate the wreath imply the nourishing and cherishing fruitfulness of Christian life.
PARAGRAPH V
The symbolic candles on the wreath signify virtues of faith. The first candle denotes hope, the second candle represents love, the third candle indicates joy, the fourth candle signifies peace and the fifth candle symbolises Jesus Christ, called the Christ candle. During the Advent season, one candle is lit on every Sunday. Prayers are recited and songs are sung. The fifth candle is lit on Christmas to remind us of the light Jesus brings to the world.
PARAGRAPH VI
Another wonderful practice is to sing carols in churches. The choir groups also visit the faithful and sing carols to them. Santa Claus brings gifts and Christmas presents to people. It gives them the joy of the season and the message that Jesus is coming soon. Their hearts jubilate and make merry because the long waiting is going to end on Christmas.
PARAGRAPH VII
This is also a time to get ready with external decorations of homes, making a crib and cooking cakes and desserts. More importantly, the internal decoration of one’s own heart is significant. In this regard, spiritual practices help Christians come closer to each other. It is a good deed to do charity and help someone in need. The Advent season gives an opportunity to mend one’s old self into new self and change wrong actions into right ones.
PARAGRAPH VIII
The hallmark of the celebrations of Advent is transforming oneself into a better person. It is journeying into the deeper realms of intrinsic and extrinsic areas within. This opens a way to Self-realisation and greater spiritual benefits. The joy of Advent is doubled when we receive Jesus as the Light of the world in our lives.
