Saint Lucy's Day is observed on December 13.
Falling within the Advent season, Saint Lucy's Day is viewed as a precursor of Christmastide,
pointing to the arrival of the Light of Christ. |

The text for O Come, O Come, Emmanuel comes from a seven verse poem that dates back to the 8th century. |

A metrical version of five of the verses of O Come, O Come, Emmanuel appeared in the 13th century. |

This is a very blessed thread, many thanks. I have several times gone back into the middle and even the beginning of the thread as a review and also as an act of devotion to reflect on many of these comments. My Magnificat Advent Companion provides seven Scripture, Prayer, and Meditations it refers to as Advent Stations. Do you know how and when these were initiated? Could they be new?

One source indicated that the Magnificat Advent Companion had a wealth of meditative prayers, essays, and poetry.
It mentioned a unique feature: the Advent Stations. There are seven Advent Stations. |

By the fifth and sixth centuries, more firm dating of the Advent season can be found
in historical records as well as Advent sermon series. |

By the fourth century, the first written evidence of Advent is found in Hispania (Spain) and Gaul (Europe). |

The Council of Sargossa (AD 380) suggested people attend church daily between December 17 and 29. |

For the last two weeks of Advent, the Church would focus on the first parousia, Christ in the manger. |

A passage in the second book of the History of the Franks by St. Gregory of Tours, where he says that
St. Perpetuus had decreed a fast three times a week from the feast of St. Martin until Christmas. |

The Advent season was not explicitly linked to Christ's first coming at Christmas until the Middle Ages. |
