NAME
    Date::Advent - Calculate the Sundays of Advent

VERSION
    Version 1.20180423

SYNOPSIS
    Date::Advent takes a Time::Piece date and calculates all four Sundays of
    Advent for the current Christian liturgical year.

    As Advent is the beginning of the Christian liturgical calendar, this
    usually results in the date for Advent in the current year being dates
    in the past. E.g. The Sundays of Advent returned for 12. March 2016
    would be 29. November 2015, 6. December 2015, 13. December 2015, and 20.
    December 2015.

        use Time::Piece;
        use Date::Advent;

        my $testAdvent = Date::Advent->new(date => Time::Piece->strptime("2016-01-01", "%Y-%m-%d"));
        say $testAdvent->firstSunday; #Gives date for first Sunday of Advent
        say $testAdvent->secondSunday; #Gives date for second Sunday of Advent
        say $testAdvent->thirdSunday; #Gives date for third Sunday of Advent
        say $testAdvent->fourthSunday; #Gives date for fourth Sunday of Advent
        say $testAdvent->christmas; #Gives date of Christmas
