The "O Antiphons" refer to the seven antiphons that are recited (or chanted) preceding the Magnificat during Vespers of the Liturgy of the Hours. They cover the special period of Advent preparation known as the Octave before Christmas, Dec. 17-23, with Dec. 24 being Christmas Eve and Vespers for that evening being for the Christmas Vigil. The importance of "O Antiphons" is twofold: Each one highlights a title for the Messiah, also, each one refers to the prophecy from Isaiah of the coming of the Messiah.
