History of Advent:Advent began to be celebrated or followed in the fourth century, shortly after the first council of Nicaea dictated the Nicene Creed, wherein they tried to set forth their interpretation of the scriptures and how people should believe and what holidays they should have and when. The word advent means coming, as in the coming of Jesus Christ. Advent celebrates his first coming and looks forward to his second coming. The German Lutherans seem to be the first Christians to come up with the advent calendar, which started on December first and was used to count down the days to the birth of baby Jesus. In the beginning people would put a chalk mark on their door or the number of the day, others would light a new candle each day which symbolized the light of Christ ever shining.Advent calendars were first made by hand, there are stories of families putting 24 candies on a board where children could take 1 candy off per day to count down the days to Christmas which celebrates the birth of Christ. Later, as with most things advent calendars became commercialized [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when the first commercial calendar was made is a point of dispute [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], some saying it was made in 1902 others say 1908 by Gerhard Lang.
