SUMMARY:The Season of Easter
DESCRIPTION:Easter isn’t just a Sunday — it’s a season. One day out of 365 is hardly sufficient to celebrate the great mystery of our faith — that Jesus Christ is risen from the dead. Accordingly\, the season of Easter lasts seven weeks (a “week of weeks”)\, spanning the 50 days from the Sunday of the Resurrection to Pentecost Sunday and encompassing the festival of the Ascension of the Lord. \nExcerpt taken from the Presbyterian Church USA website.

SUMMARY:Ascension Day
DESCRIPTION:Forty days after the Resurrection of the Lord (Easter Sunday)\, we remember and celebrate the Ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ into heaven. (See Luke 24:50-53 and Acts 1:1-11; see also Mark 16:19-20.) On this day\, the church gives thanks for Christ’s sovereign rule over all the earth\, as well as his priestly intercession for us at the throne of mercy (Hebrews 4:14-16). \nExcerpt taken from the Presbyterian Church USA website.

SUMMARY:Day of Pentecost
DESCRIPTION:On the Day of Pentecost we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit descending in a mighty rush of wind and flame to inspire the church’s proclamation of Christ’s rising and to empower its mission and ministry to the world. (See Acts 2:1-13; see also Joel 2:28-32.) \nExcerpt taken from the Presbyterian Church USA website.

SUMMARY:Trinity Sunday
DESCRIPTION:On Trinity Sunday we proclaim the mystery of our faith in the triune God: Father\, Son and Holy Spirit\, One-in-Three and Three-in-One. \nThe celebration of Trinity Sunday began among Western Christians in the 10th century and developed slowly until it was formally established on the Sunday after Pentecost by Pope John XXII (1316-1334). \nExcerpt taken from the Presbyterian Church USA website.

SUMMARY:Reformation Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Presbyterians celebrate the tradition that grounds their faith on Reformation Sunday. It is always the last Sunday in October\, marking the occasion in 1517 when Martin Luther posted his 95 theses on the church door in Wittenberg\, Germany. \nExcerpt taken from the Presbyterian Church USA website.

SUMMARY:All Saints' Day
DESCRIPTION:In early Christian tradition\, saints’ days began as a way to mark the anniversary of a martyr’s death — his or her “birthday” as a saint. By the middle of the church’s first millennium\, there were so many martyrs (particularly due to the persecution of Diocletian) that it was hard to give them all their due. All Saints’ Day was established as an opportunity to honor all the saints\, known and unknown. \nAll Saints’ Day has a rather different focus in the Reformed tradition. While we may give thanks for the lives of particular luminaries of ages past\, the emphasis is on the ongoing sanctification of the whole people of God. Rather than putting saints on pedestals as holy people set apart in glory\, we give glory to God for the ordinary\, holy lives of the believers in this and every age. This is an appropriate time to give thanks to members of the community of faith who have died in the past year. We also pray that we may be counted among the company of the faithful in God’s eternal realm. \nAll Saints’ Day has been celebrated on November 1 since the year 835. Previously it had been connected with the Easter season as a feast of all martyrs. \nExcerpt taken from the Presbyterian Church USA website.

SUMMARY:Feast of Christ the King
DESCRIPTION:At the conclusion of the Christian year\, the church gives thanks and praise for sovereignty of Christ\, who is Lord of all creation and is coming again in glory to reign (see Revelation 1:4-8). \nThis festival was established in 1925 by decree of Pope Pius XI. Originally it took place on the last Sunday in October\, just prior to All Saints’ Day. Now it is celebrated on the last Sunday of the Christian year\, a week before the season of Advent begins. \nExcerpt taken from the Presbyterian Church USA website.

SUMMARY:The Season of Advent
DESCRIPTION:“Advent” means “coming” or “arrival.” During the season of Advent\, we celebrate Christ’s coming into the world and watch with expectant hope for his coming again. In its historical origins\, the season of Advent was patterned after the season of Lent\, a six-week period of penitence and preparation for Easter. Similarly\, the four weeks of Advent present an opportunity for communal discernment and personal examination\, as the church prepares to celebrate the Nativity of the Lord and looks with hope for Christ’s return. \nExcerpt taken from the Presbyterian Church USA website.

SUMMARY:Christmas Eve
DESCRIPTION:Since at least the fourth century in Rome\, Christians have celebrated the incarnation and nativity of Jesus Christ on Dec. 25. There is more than one theory about the origin of this festival day. Some have suggested that it was established to replace the Roman feast of Natalis Solis Invicti (the “birthday of the unconquered sun”). Others believe that Jesus was conceived on March 25 (coinciding with the date of his crucifixion\, as recorded by some witnesses in the early church); Dec. 25 is exactly nine months later. \nRegardless\, the time between Dec. 25 and Jan. 6 (Epiphany) has become an occasion for the church to celebrate and give thanks for the arrival of God’s Word made flesh — the light of God that has come into the world\, the light that even death could not extinguish. \nExcerpt taken from the Presbyterian Church USA website.
