Extra liturgical music refers to musical compositions that are not part of the formal liturgy of a religious service but are performed in conjunction with it or in a related context. This can include hymns, anthems, and other devotional songs that enhance the worship experience but are not prescribed by the liturgical calendar. Such music often serves to express personal devotion or community identity and can be found in various religious traditions.

Lent.

Advent is a time of preparation and penance, symbolized by the color purple, so flowers are not used until the joy of Christmas.

No

The liturgy of "fire and light" may refer to the first part of the ceremonies for Holy Saturday, also known as the Paschal Vigil. These ceremonies begin with a virgin fire that is enkindled to light the Paschal Candle. The Candle represents Christ, the Light of the World as well as symbolizing His Resurrection and victory over death.

The Paschal Vigil ceremonies are usually scheduled for 10pm so that Mass may begin around 12am on Easter Day. The first ceremony is the blessing of the new fire which is kindled with flint and steel. Local fire codes being taken into account, the fire is made outside in front of the church and the congregation proceeds outside to stand around it. Prayers are said by the priest asking for spiritual enlightenment and illuminating grace and grains of incense are blessed and placed into the Candle, which is also blessed. The Paschal candle is then lit from the fire. A procession forms behind the Paschal candle and enters into the Church, which has been darkened for this purpose. The procession pauses three times on its way when "Lumen Christi" or "the light of Christ" is proclaimed by the priest or deacon bearing the candle.

At the last "Lumen Christi" the Paschal flame is passed to all of the congregation who have been given tapers for this purpose. When the procession finishes, the Paschal candle is placed in a candle holder in the sanctuary, the Church lights are restored, and the priest or deacon then reads or preferably sings the "Paschale Praeconium" or "Easter Laud", although is popularly known as "The Exsultet". This is an ancient song that tells of man's fall, God's guidance through the centuries and man's redemption by Christ. At the completion of this lengthy song, the congregation extinguishes their tapers, thus ending this part of the Paschal ceremony, the liturgy of fire and light.

There are no special rituals concerning the zucchetto, the skull cap worn by bishops, cardinals and popes. It is removed at the Preface of Mass and replaced after communion.

Yes, because it is a sum up of the faith.

However note :

There are other creeds

the original Nicene creed without the addition of the Filioque is recited in all Eastern churches and can be recited in Western churches but the Nicene creed with the addition of the Filoque is the main creed for the Western churches. There are two other creeds, the Apostles Creed which is sometimes said at Mass and the Athanasian Creed. The Nicene Creed is said only at Sunday Mass and on Holy Days of Obligation. It need not be said at daily Mass unless the priest or congregation prefers to do so.

There are two seasons of Ordinary Time:

1.) from the end of the Christmas Season until the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday

2.) from the end of the Easter Season until the Saturday before the first Sunday of Advent.

a feast day for the Virgin Mary... I think...

Easter is the center of the liturgical year.

Epiphany is celebrated on January 6th or the closest Sunday to that date. It celebrates the manifestation of divinity of Jesus to the Gentiles via the Magi.

Nope. "Liturgy" is a noun, not a verb. It means the form of a religious ceremony, especially in the Christian religion. The liturgy of the Mass in the Roman Catholic religion is the script the priest and his assistants follow when performing the ceremony. It is different from the liturgy for the same sort of ceremony in Orthodox, Lutheran, Anglican, Calvinist, or Baptist churches.

alleluia is not said or sung

Ave Maria is the Latin name for the prayer commonly referred to as the "Hail Mary". It is not part of the Ordinary of the Mass, however until recently, it was common practice for the prayer to be included as one of the Prayers of the Faithful during Catholic masses in England. It has since been removed because it is a prayer of Marian devotion and not part of the liturgy.

The greatest influence on the organization doctrine and liturgy of the Russian Orthodox Church was the sobornost. The sobornost is a concept that encourages the cooperation between people and discourages individualism.

The Second Vatican Council in its Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy called for several things: first among them, it called for full, active participation:

Mother Church earnestly desires that all the faithful should be led to that fully conscious, and active participation in liturgical celebrations which is demanded by the very nature of the liturgy.

It also called for education of the laity,

and then it called for "noble simplicity" without "useless repetitions":

The rites should be distinguished by a noble simplicity; they should be short, clear, and unencumbered by useless repetitions; they should be within the people's powers of comprehension, and normally should not require much explanation.

and finally it called for Latin to be retained, although the vernacular could be used in such as the readings, to make them easier to understand. For the full document, see the link below:

Every ordained priest (and Bishop) may celebrate Mass every day of the year, save on Good Friday. The Mass is the re-presentation of Our Blessed Lord's sacrifice of Himself upon the cross for our salvation. It is the only reason that heaven is accessible to us.

Paradoxically it is for the reason opposite to what you are probably thinking.

IT is so nobody suffers from the confusion, egotism, and sloppiness of someone 'doing there own thing'. When I was in the monastery I assure you the very WORST prayers were when someone made up a prayer. They often used words no one ever uses, they were long-winded, they were even corny.

Jesus taught the Our Father as a model. It needn't be recited exactly. But it gives the backbone by showing Who is addressed, what should be desired, and with what social feeling (OUR Father) prayers should be said.

Without laws, chaos at best, boring crap at worst.
