Summary/Abstract: In all liturgical traditions of the Christian world Christmas is preceded by a preparative season. From the theological point of view this season – Advent, has a double dimention: eschatological and the one related to the mystery of Incarnation of Jesus Christ. In the traditions of the Syriac Churches the Sundays of preparation to the Nativity of the Lord focus on the described in the Gospels so called “annunciations” (syr.: subārā). This paper is an attempt to outline the theological ideas present in the Advent euchology of the Syriac Churches.
