The liturgical calendar is the various seasons throughout which the Catholic Church celebrates the different time periods and aspects of the life of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The Church's liturgical year (and the liturgical calendar) starts on the First Sunday of Advent and ends on the Saturday after the Last Sunday after Pentecost.
There are eight seasons of the Church on the Traditional Liturgical Calendar:
1) Advent 2) Christmas 3) Epiphany 4) Septuagesima 5) Lent 6) Passiontide 7) Easter 8) Pentecost.
The liturgical calendar is divided into 2 sections: 1) the temporal cycle 2) the sanctoral cycle.
The temporal cycle comprises the seasons listed above in which different aspects of Our Lord's life are commemorated throughout each year.
The sanctoral cycle is the annual celebration of the different Saints, and most of these days are attached to certain days of the calendar year.
It is the calendar of the church. It is based on the primary Christian holidays. It indicates the church 'seasons' and what colors are used on the alter. Sermon topics and specific scripture readings are often listed as part of such a calendar.
