SUMMARY:All Saints' Day
DESCRIPTION:In early Christian tradition\, saints’ days began as a way to mark the anniversary of a martyr’s death — his or her “birthday” as a saint. By the middle of the church’s first millennium\, there were so many martyrs (particularly due to the persecution of Diocletian) that it was hard to give them all their due. All Saints’ Day was established as an opportunity to honor all the saints\, known and unknown. \nAll Saints’ Day has a rather different focus in the Reformed tradition. While we may give thanks for the lives of particular luminaries of ages past\, the emphasis is on the ongoing sanctification of the whole people of God. Rather than putting saints on pedestals as holy people set apart in glory\, we give glory to God for the ordinary\, holy lives of the believers in this and every age. This is an appropriate time to give thanks to members of the community of faith who have died in the past year. We also pray that we may be counted among the company of the faithful in God’s eternal realm. \nAll Saints’ Day has been celebrated on November 1 since the year 835. Previously it had been connected with the Easter season as a feast of all martyrs. \nExcerpt taken from the Presbyterian Church USA website.

SUMMARY:Feast of Christ the King
DESCRIPTION:At the conclusion of the Christian year\, the church gives thanks and praise for sovereignty of Christ\, who is Lord of all creation and is coming again in glory to reign (see Revelation 1:4-8). \nThis festival was established in 1925 by decree of Pope Pius XI. Originally it took place on the last Sunday in October\, just prior to All Saints’ Day. Now it is celebrated on the last Sunday of the Christian year\, a week before the season of Advent begins. \nExcerpt taken from the Presbyterian Church USA website.

SUMMARY:The Season of Advent
DESCRIPTION:“Advent” means “coming” or “arrival.” During the season of Advent\, we celebrate Christ’s coming into the world and watch with expectant hope for his coming again. In its historical origins\, the season of Advent was patterned after the season of Lent\, a six-week period of penitence and preparation for Easter. Similarly\, the four weeks of Advent present an opportunity for communal discernment and personal examination\, as the church prepares to celebrate the Nativity of the Lord and looks with hope for Christ’s return. \nExcerpt taken from the Presbyterian Church USA website.

SUMMARY:Christmas Eve
DESCRIPTION:Since at least the fourth century in Rome\, Christians have celebrated the incarnation and nativity of Jesus Christ on Dec. 25. There is more than one theory about the origin of this festival day. Some have suggested that it was established to replace the Roman feast of Natalis Solis Invicti (the “birthday of the unconquered sun”). Others believe that Jesus was conceived on March 25 (coinciding with the date of his crucifixion\, as recorded by some witnesses in the early church); Dec. 25 is exactly nine months later. \nRegardless\, the time between Dec. 25 and Jan. 6 (Epiphany) has become an occasion for the church to celebrate and give thanks for the arrival of God’s Word made flesh — the light of God that has come into the world\, the light that even death could not extinguish. \nExcerpt taken from the Presbyterian Church USA website.
