The Church Year

The Church keeps time by the life of Christ. One trip around this wheel is one church year, beginning at the top with the First Sunday in Advent and moving clockwise through Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, and the long green season after Holy Trinity. The outer band shows the liturgical color of every single day — tap or hover anywhere on the wheel to read about that day, and tap a dot to jump to a feast.

Small ticks mark Sundays; dots mark feasts and festivals. The gold pointer marks today.
