[This is YEAR
C of readings in the Revised Common Lectionary.]
Current
Season - 'Ordinary'
Time
| Most of the Seasons of
the Christian Church Year are organized around the two major
festivals that mark sacred time, Christmas and Easter. The rest of
the year following Epiphany and Pentecost is known as Ordinary
Time.
Rather than meaning
"common" or "mundane," this term comes from
the word "ordinal," which simply means counted time
(First Sunday after Pentecost, etc.), which is probably a better
way to think of this time of the year. Counted time after
Pentecost always begins with Trinity Sunday (the first Sunday
after Pentecost) and ends with Christ the King Sunday or the Reign
of Christ the King (last Sunday before the beginning of Advent).
The 33 or 34 Sundays of Ordinary
Time (23 to 28 Sundays after Pentecost) are used to focus on
various aspects of the Faith, especially the mission of the church
in the world. |
|
The 'colour'
of this season is _ GREEN
* This means that the robes of the priest (Vestments) and the cloths
which dress the Altar are of this particular colour.
