The Liturgical Church year

In the Anglican tradition, and here at St. George on Yonge, the year is divided into seasons surround the various feasts and celebrations of our Christian faith.

  • Advent …
    late November until December 25, a time of anticipation and waiting as we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
  • Christmas …
    December 24 & 25, and often the Sunday following, is the church’s celebration of the Incarnation, the birth of Jesus Christ.
  • Epiphany …
    From January 6 until sometime in February or March, we celebrate how God is revealed to us through Jesus Christ by remembering the Magi’s journey to Bethlehem, Jesus’ baptism by John the Baptist and other times when he was revealed as the Son of God.
  • Lent …
    From late February until April, for 40 days (not including Sundays) Lent is a penitential time to remember our need for God’s forgiveness as we seek reconciliation for the sins we commit in our everyday lives. This solemn and holy time begins on Ash Wednesday and goes until Holy Week.
  • Holy Week …
    the week leading up to Good Friday and Easter, when we remember the passion, suffering and death of Jesus Christ and his glorious resurrection
  • Easter …
    the 50-day period in which we celebrate what the resurrection of Jesus Christ means for us and our faith
  • Pentecost …
    marks the coming of the Holy Spirit to the first disciples and the beginning of the early church. This is the longest season of the church year and lasts from May until the end of November. It is known as ordinary time, in which we grow and nurture our faith and our relationships with God.

There are other feast days throughout the year that we observe, such as the Ascension, saints’ days, the Transfiguration, Holy Cross Day, All Saint’s Day, All Soul’s Day and the Reign of Christ.

The liturgical year helps us to remember the story of our faith through the life and ministry of Jesus Christ.
