Liturgical Seasons

Liturgical seasons are divisions of the Christian year that celebrate and recall key events in Jesus Christ’s life, death, and resurrection. These seasons guide worship themes, prayers, and scripture readings throughout the year. Major seasons include Advent (preparing for Christmas), Christmas (celebrating Jesus’ birth), Lent (a time of reflection and penance before Easter), Easter (celebrating Jesus’ resurrection), and Ordinary Time (focused on Christian growth and teachings). Each season provides a structured way for communities to deepen their faith and reflection, shaping the rhythm of church worship and spiritual focus throughout the year.
