The official Christian church calendar is a table containing the holy days, saints’ days, and festivals of the church, with the dates of the civil calendar on which they occur. These include the fixed feasts, such as Christmas, and the movable feasts, which depend on the date of Easter. The most important early church calendar was compiled by Furius Dionisius Philocalus about 354. After the Reformation, the German Lutheran church retained the Roman calendar, as did the Church of England and some other Anglican churches. The principal seasons of the church calendar observed by Lutherans are, in order, Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, and Pentecost.
In addition to Sundays and Principal Festivals, the Church has designated many "Lesser Festivals and Commemorations". Click on a month at left for more information (yes, we know we're behind; only nine more months to post).
