Church calendar
The Church calendar is a schedule that organizes important religious events, seasons, and celebrations throughout the year for Christian communities. It marks key times like Advent (preparing for Christmas), Christmas itself, Lent (a period of fasting and reflection leading up to Easter), Holy Week (including Good Friday and Easter), and Pentecost. These periods guide worship, rituals, and community activities, helping believers observe their faith’s cycle and deepen their spiritual experience. The calendar varies among denominations but generally provides a structured rhythm that connects believers to the historical and spiritual significance of these times.
