Advent A Kairos Experience

In the Christian tradition, Advent is a time of preparation for the feast of Christmas. The ancient Greeks celebrated time in two ways as chronos and kairos. The former refers to chronological or sequential time, while the latter means the right, critical, or opportune moment. While chronos is quantitative, kairos has a qualitative, permanent nature. We could look at the time of advent from both these perspectives.
