Plural of 'advent': arrivals, the coming of someone or something important, or the Christian season before Christmas celebrating Christ's expected coming.
From Latin 'adventus' (arrival, coming), from 'advenire' (to come to). Used in English since medieval times, particularly in religious contexts.
While most people think of Advent as a single season before Christmas, the plural 'advents' reminds us the word originally meant any significant arrival—theologically, Christians recognize Christ's first advent (birth) and anticipated second advent (return).
