What is the name of the first liturgical season of the Church year?

Advent Christmas Lent Easter

Correct Answer:

Advent

Explanation:

Advent is the first season because it opens the Church year with a focus on preparation and expectant waiting for Jesus’ coming, both in the birth of Christ and in his promised return. It lasts about four weeks before Christmas and sets the tone for the entire year by inviting reflection, hope, and readiness. Christmas then follows Advent and celebrates Jesus’ birth; Lent comes later as a time of penance and preparation for Easter; Easter celebrates the resurrection and closes the cycle. So Advent fits as the starting point since it begins the calendar and centers on anticipation for the Messiah.
