Ordinary time

Ordinary Time comprises two periods in the year: first, the period of time from the day after Candlemas (also known as The Presentation of Christ in the Temple) until the day before Ash Wednesday, and second, that from the day after Penticost until the day before the First Sunday of Advent.

During Ordinary Time, there is no seasonal emphasis, except that the period of time between All Saints' Day and the First Sunday of Advent is observed as a time to celebrate and reflect upon the reign of Christ in earth and heaven.

The liturgical colour for Ordinary Time is green.
