Church Calendar & Liturgical Year

Within the Anglican tradition (and many others), the church calendar guides the rhythms of corporate and personal worship and unites congregations together in a common practice led by the Book of Common Prayer. These resources help Christians understand the church seasons and holidays for more meaningful engagement throughout the year.

See books on Advent & Christmas, Lent & Easter, and Pentecost.
