The Church Liturgical Year

There probably won’t be many people wishing you Happy New Year on Nov. 27. But the last Sunday of November actually is the beginning of the New Year in the Catholic Church. It marks the official start of the liturgical year.

It begins with the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus and continues for the next 50 days, until the coming of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. The color of the Easter season is white.
