Welcome to Shalom World Podcasts, where we uncover the enthralling significance of Advent, a pivotal season in the lead-up to Christmas. Advent, derived from the Latin word 'adventus,' meaning 'coming,' is not merely a countdown but a time of expectant waiting, reflection, and preparation. As it commences four Sundays before Christmas, it ushers us into the Christian liturgical year and serves as a profound reminder that Christmas is more than just presents and decorations; it's the celebration of Jesus' birth, the birth of our savior, the promised seed in the Book of Genesis.
