The feast day of Christ the King is the last Sunday of the Liturgical year. It is followed by the First Sunday of Advent. Every celebrated holiday of the Liturgical year falls between the First Sunday of Advent and Christ the King.
Advent begins on the 4th Sunday before Christmas. Lent is the 40 days before Easter.
Palm Sunday is a Christian holiday--the Sunday before Easter.
There are four weeks in advent before Christmas every year changes.
Stir up Sunday is the last Sunday before Advent. In 2007, the first Sunday of Advent is December 2nd. Therefore, Stir-up Sunday is November 25th.
Roman Catholic AnswerYes, Advent begins the liturgical year, four Sundays before Christmas each year. The Sunday before the First Sunday of Advent is Christ the King which ends the liturgical year.
The first Sunday of Advent is the first day of Advent. The date varies from year to year.
The First Sunday of Advent begins on the preceding Saturday night with First Vespers (Evening Prayer on Saturday evening). The First Sunday of Advent is always the first of the four Sundays before Christmas on the 25th of December.
Advent begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas Day, which is the Sunday nearest November 30, and ends on Christmas Eve (Dec 24). If Christmas Eve is a Sunday, it is counted as the fourth Sunday of Advent, with Christmas Eve starting at sundown. The first Sunday may be as early as November 27. When this occurs, Advent has twenty-eight days. If the first Sunday of Advent is on December 3, Advent will only last twenty-one days.
Advent Sunday can be anywhere between November 27 and December 3. Or another way to find it out is it is always 4 Sundays before Christmas Day.
Stir-up Sunday used to be the 25th week after Trinity Sunday and hence was a moveable date tagged to Easter. The Church preferred this date be linked to Advent, and it is now set as the Sunday before Advent (as Advent is four Sundays before Christmas, it follows that Stir-up Sunday is the fifth Sunday before Christmas)Thus, Stir-up Sunday for 2008 is 23rd November. However, an awful lot of folk out there are using 30th November as the date of Stir-up Sunday.
It is the feast of Corpus Christi, the last Sunday of the church calendar year, which is the Sunday before Advent begins
