Advent

Advent is the season preceding Christmas during which Christians await the arrival of the Christ child. It is a time of quiet introspection, meditative searching, and joyful anticipation. In other traditions as well, this season of shortening days and lengthening nights is a time for reflecting on and honoring the past, looking to the future, and searching for inner light in a period of outer darkness.

In many Waldorf schools, the tradition of the Advent spiral is followed. At the Waldorf School of Cape Cod, the early childhood classes have continued this tradition. The school as a whole began, in 1999, a new approach to the Advent garden. A lighted walkway of vignettes created by the children of the grades is set up, and is open to visitors on an evening in December. The vignettes draw on themes from the children's Main Lesson curricula, and highlight the values of giving, reflection, and searching for light. Families and friends are invited to sit, walk through the garden, and listen to readings and musical meditations.
