The order of the seasons of the liturgical year tells the story of Jesus’s life, death, and Resurrection. The Lenten season gives us forty days to prepare for the Sacred Triduum, which celebrates three events: the Last Supper, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection of Jesus.
In the liturgical year, every season of preparation is followed by a season of celebration, so after Lent, we will celebrate the season of Easter, rejoicing for fifty days that Jesus is risen from the dead.
Want to help your kids understand the rhythms of the Liturgical Year? You can find this freebie simple Liturgical Calendar here, in both full color and as a black and white coloring page. It’s perfect to hang next to your family calendar or stick in the cover of your planner.
These resources were made in cooperation with Shari Van Vranken of Catholic Paper Goods using artwork from our new book! Shari has also made a year specific Liturgical Calendar if you'd like one that is dated to this liturgical year, or she also has it available as a poster!
Discover even more in our new book All About Lent & Holy Week! You can find it at The St. Paul Center here or on Amazon here, or we'd love for you to ask for it at your local Catholic book store. It's also available as an ebook in both places if that's more your style!
