The liturgical calendar, also known as the church calendar, is a system of organizing the days of the year according to the major events in the life of Jesus Christ and the history of the Church. It is used by Christians to determine the appropriate liturgical practices for each day, including the readings, prayers, and colors used in worship services.
The liturgical calendar is divided into two main cycles: the temporal cycle and the sanctoral cycle. The temporal cycle follows the life of Jesus Christ, beginning with Advent and ending with Christ the King Sunday. The sanctoral cycle celebrates the lives of the saints and other important events in the history of the Church.
