Christian Calendar

The Christian Calendar, also known as the Liturgical Year, organizes the annual cycle of Christian celebrations and events. It includes key seasons such as Advent (preparing for Christmas), Christmas (celebrating the birth of Jesus), Lent (a period of fasting leading to Easter), and Easter (commemorating the resurrection of Jesus). The calendar is marked by specific feast days dedicated to saints and significant events. Each season has its themes, colors, and traditions, guiding worship and reflection within Christian communities. The calendar starts with Advent, typically in late November or early December, and cycles through the year, ending with Christ the King Sunday.
