Advent calendar Enter Christmas

A Christian Advent calendar to enter into the joy of Christmas

The Advent calendar "Enter into the Joy of Christmas", illustrated by Maïte Roche, invites children and families to prepare their hearts for the coming of Jesus. Through a beautiful illustration filled with soft colours and light, this calendar depicts shepherds joyfully making their way towards the Christ Child beneath a star-filled sky, a symbol of Christian hope and expectation.

More than just an Advent calendar, it offers a genuine spiritual journey to accompany each day leading up to Christmas. Its gentle and poetic atmosphere helps children discover the true meaning of the Nativity while encouraging moments of family prayer and reflection.

28 windows to open and extend the Christmas celebration

This calendar features 28 windows to open throughout the Advent season. Behind each window, children and families will discover reminders of the Christian faith, prayers and reflections specially chosen to prepare for the celebration of Christ's birth.

The journey continues beyond Christmas Day thanks to three bonus windows dedicated to New Year's Day, the feast of the Epiphany, and 2nd February, the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord (Candlemas). A wonderful way to continue reflecting on the mysteries of Christ's childhood after Christmas has passed.

A beautifully illustrated Advent calendar

The cover illustration portrays shepherds, children and animals walking together through the night towards the light of Christmas. Guided by the stars, they journey through a peaceful landscape filled with hope and anticipation. This heart-warming scene perfectly reflects the joy, faith and trust that characterise the waiting period before the birth of the Saviour.

Maïte Roche's illustrations are renowned for their tenderness and catechetical value, helping children approach the great mysteries of the Christian faith in an accessible and engaging way.

An ideal way to experience Advent as a family

This Advent calendar is an excellent support for family prayer during the Advent season. Each day becomes an opportunity to pause, pray, reflect and prepare spiritually for the celebration of Christmas.
