THE FESTIVALS OF
THE CHRISTIAN YEAR
Our liturgical calendar follows the course of the Incarnation of Christ Jesus into the world of human beings and nature, and the birth of the Spirit within individual human beings and communal life. The festivals are celebrated year after year to allow an ever deeper relationship to the Christ mystery and the renewal of human and social life. We invite you to celebrate with us!
Advent
The four weeks of preparation for the birth of love, light and renewed life in the being of the Christ child
Christmas
The celebration of the birth of the One who comes into the world to save humankind
Epiphany
The Light of Christ enters the earthly world and walks among us as the Star of Grace
Trinity (the in-between time)
We pray to the triune God who gifts us with being, creating power, and spiritual illumination
Passiontide (Lent)
The four weeks of entering into the depths of human suffering as Christ experienced it, and walking with him as he unites himself with us
Easter
The festival of the Resurrection! Over the forty days of Easter, the Risen One teaches the disciples about the Kingdom of God
Ascension
The Risen One ascends, uniting himself with the earth as his new body, promising that he will be with us until the end of days
Pentecost (Whitsun)
The disciples receive Holy Spirit, tongues of flame descend upon them and they come to know Christ within, and go forth bearing this truth to humanity
(Trinity — the in-between time)
St. Johnstide
We look to the spirit of John the Baptist, who inspires all those seeking to follow Christ and serve divine love
(Trinity — the in-between time)
Michaelmas
We look to the guiding spirit of the Archangel Michael who earnestly strives to aid humanity’s becoming and coming to know Christ in freedom
(Trinity — the in-between time)
