Christmas 圣诞节

The Christmas decorations and sales in shopping complexes started much earlier.

The actual preparation of the birth of Jesus by the Catholic Church started today only. Today we start our new liturgical year with the season of Advent which consists of 4 Sundays.

Advent, from the Latin adventus, means "coming" - the coming of Jesus. It is a period of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus, The Saviour, on December 25.

Christmas brings hope, joy, peace and love to the world.



商场及购物中心的圣诞节装饰及大促销,早已经开始了。

天主教会迎接圣诞节的到了,是从今天开始而已。今天,我们的教会开始了新的礼仪年,进入了四个星期天的【将临期】。

【将临期】的意思,顾名思义,就是以期望的心态,等待及准备救世者耶稣的到来,也就是十二月二十五日的圣诞了。

这是一个普世同庆的日子。圣诞带给世人希望,喜乐,平安及爱。
