The beautiful Advent O Antiphons

The O Antiphons refer to the seven antiphons that are prayed immediately before the Magnificat during Vespers of the Liturgy of the Hours (or the Divine Office). Each antiphon begins with the exclamation "O", thus earning their popular name of the "O Antiphons". They cover the special period of Advent preparation known as the Octave before Christmas, from Dec. 17 - 23, with Dec. 24 being Vespers of the Christmas Vigil. 

Each antiphon denotes an attribute of the coming Christ.
