Liturgical Year & Calendar

from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops

"...The liturgical year is made up of six seasons:

  1. Advent - four weeks of preparation before the celebration of Jesus' birth
  2. Christmas - recalling the Nativity of Jesus Christ and his manifestation to the peoples of the world
  3. Lent - a six-week period of penance before Easter
  4. Sacred Paschal Triduum - the holiest "Three Days" of the Church's year, where the Christian people recall the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus
  5. Easter - 50 days of joyful celebration of the Lord's resurrection from the dead and his sending forth of the Holy Spirit
  6. Ordinary Time - divided into two sections (one span of 4-8 weeks after Christmas Time and another lasting about six months after Easter Time), wherein the faithful consider the fullness of Jesus' teachings and works among his people.   "
