Our Christian Calendar
The Liturgical year is separated into seasons
- Advent
- Christmas
- Epiphany
- Ordinary Time following the presentation of Christ in the Temple
- Lent
- Easter which includes the Vigil and Easter Liturgy
- Ordinary Time following Pentecost
In our school we use the liturgical colours to express our Christian Distinctiveness. The liturgical seasons are depicted with coloured material in the Hall.
Colour | Season Mood | When Used |
White | Joy and Rejoice | Christmas, Easter, Epiphany, Ascension, All Saints |
Purple | Thinking deeply and waiting | Advent, Lent |
Green | A time to grow | Ordinary days (not celebrations) |
Red | Sad times and certain Joyful times | Ordinary days (not celebrations) |
