Like me, you may have grown up outside of church, or at least outside a church tradition which utilizes the Christian Calendar or the Liturgical Year. For example, it wasn’t until graduate school that I even learned what Lent was all about. It wasn’t until my young married years that I learned about Advent.
That’s why I was pleased to see Richard Beck’s helpful visual and written summary of the Christian Calendar or Liturgical Year with its four holy seasons (Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter) and Ordinary Time. Beck does a great job explaining the calendar for novices like me.
