The Seasons of the Church
Within Christianity, the year is broken into distinct seasons. These seasons fall into what is known as the liturgical year or the church year. The seasons within the church year each emphasize different themes and practices, but they also highlight different aspects of Jesus’ life and the life of faith that we are all living into.
Like any calendar, the church calendar shows important days and events that the church celebrates. Some seasons are short, like Christmas, which is only twelve days. Other seasons are longer, lasting around twenty-five weeks.
Each season has its own color, and we use those colors in our worship spaces and on the paraments (altar cloths) and vestments (clothes that the worship leaders wear during worship services) to add symbolism to each season.
People naturally order their lives in various ways. We measure our workdays, the week follows a certain order, we mark special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, the school year, etc. The church uses the liturgical calendar to give shape and direction to the life of faith. It sets a rhythm that helps to tell the story of God, who acts in our lives in different ways at different times.
The seasons of the church year are:
Advent - Begins between November 27th and December 3rd each year to Christmas.
Christmas - December 25th to January 5th each year to Epiphany.
Epiphany - January 6th to the Sunday before Ash Wednesday.
Lent - Begins on Ash Wednesday between February 4th and March 10th each year to Holy Week.
Holy Week - Palm Sunday to the Saturday Easter Vigil
Easter - Begins between March 22nd and April 25th each year to Pentecost.
Pentecost - Begins between May 10th and June 13th each year to Advent.
