Celebrating a Year with Christ
A Liturgical Calendar Created by Alisa Davis
What is a Liturgical Calendar?
A liturgical calendar is used to track celebratory seasons and feasts, which started with the Catholic and Orthodox Churches. This year, Alisa has been working on designing a calendar for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, to help you and your family explore major Christian holidays, important dates in Church history, as well as biblical feasts and festivals celebrated by our Jewish brothers and sisters. Many members of our community have been working to integrate biblical traditions like Passover, or the Feast of Trumpets into their annual practices and family traditions, because they bring a special spirit into their home. You will notice that many of these events tend to overlap!
