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.

    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
