The Ecclesiastical Year: Part 2 by Mary McCallPosted by Kera Aideen O'Neal Jul 26 2011, 4:24 am in Uncategorized As we discussed last time, the Ecclesiastical Year (or Liturgical Year) is a fixed annual cycle of holy seasons and feast days, which the Holy Catholic Church consecrates in a particular way to God’s service. The Liturgical Year contains two parts: The Proper of the Season, which includes feasts in honor of our Divine Savior, and the Proper of the Saints, which includes feasts in honor of Our Lady and the saints.
