The liturgy of the Episcopal Church proclaims the story of Jesus' love in a rhythm that follows the seasons of the year. This church calendar represents hundreds of years of tradition, dating to fifth century Jerusalem. For Episcopalians, the church calendar provides a framework for our spiritual life. Beginning with Advent, we are immersed in the stories of our faith – of Christ's birth, life, death, and resurrection. Liturgical colors are used for vestments and altar cloth to mark the six seasons. View our Seasons Calendar or read about our seasons.
