The word advent comes from the Latin word adventus meaning ‘coming’ which is why the Church throughout the ages has called the season of Christmas Advent to make much of the first coming of the Son of God Jesus Christ.

His coming not only marks the coming of Christmas, it not only unfreezes and awakens the hearts of all who come to Him, but it also ushers all of creation into the final act of the grand play of history. In Hebrews 1:1-4 we find that the Author of all creation, God Himself, enters into this dark world that’s dead in its own icy wicked winter.

So when the Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy meet Mr. This is because of the evil work of the White Witch that’s infected Narnia and all within it. Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe begins, you find Narnia in a perpetual state of winter.
