A History Of Advent Calendars
Advent calendars, like most other Christmas traditions, are believed to be German in origin.
Advent gets its name from adventus, the Latin word for “arrival.” As the Christian church solidified in the fifth century A.D., so did traditions around December 25. Historians have tracked the first formal Advent celebrations to northern Italy, where churchgoers observed a weeks-long preparation for Christmas that involved fasting, prayer, and reflection on Christian values.
During the 19th century, German families began helping children count down the days until Christmas by making chalk marks on doors in anticipation of the entry of the Christ child. There were other homemade ways to count down involving snacks and Bible verses, as well. Some families hung a different picture on the wall each day of advent.
Sometime between 1902 & 1908, the first printed advent calendars made their appearance. Gerhard Lang, inspired by the childhood memory of his mom sewing 24 cookies into the lid of a box and allowing him to eat one each day of Advent, created commercial advent calendars in the early 1900s. In the 1920s, he created one with small doors that could be opened each day.
Some added short bible verses behind the doors.
Chocolate became popular in advent calendars sometime in the 1950s. Cadbury began producing them in 1971.
Their popularity in America is credited to President Eisenhower, who was photographed opening them with his grandchildren, while he was President.
According to an article in NPR, "Today, most Advent calendars don't technically cover the Advent season, but instead start on Dec. 1 and run through either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. The reason is practical, as Vox explains: The length of the Advent season changes from year to year, so it's easier to pick a set number of days for calendars that can be reproduced or reused every season."
