Liturgical Year

The Liturgical Year is the annual cycle of religious events, seasons, and celebrations that structure the Christian worship calendar. It guides worship, prayer, and reflection, highlighting key events like Advent (preparing for Christmas), Christmas (celebrating Jesus’ birth), Lent (repentance and preparation for Easter), Easter (Jesus’ resurrection), and Ordinary Time (spiritual growth). These seasons help believers focus on different aspects of faith throughout the year, fostering a sense of rhythm and continuity in worship. The cycle varies among Christian denominations but generally serves to deepen understanding of Christian mysteries and reinforce communal faith.
