Advent Sunday
Advent Sunday is, for the Western Christian churches that use the term, the first day of the liturgical year and the start of the season of Advent. In Lutheran, Anglican, and Methodist churches the celebrant wears violet-coloured or blue vestments on this day, and the first violet or blue Advent candle is lit at Mass. In the Church of Sweden, however, the Liturgical colour is white: the motivation is that the day is a joyful feast (the colour is changed to blue, the traditional colour for Advent in Scandinavia, or—if the church does not possess blue vestments—violet after 6 p.m.). 9:9–10 Zechariah 9:9–10 and 21:1–9 Matthew 21:1–9 are always read in the service, and the symbolism of the day is that Christ enters the church.
