El calendario litúrgico es el programa de fechas y tiempos de la Iglesia que marcan su ritmo de vida y de fe. La piedra angular del año litúrgico es el Domingo, el Día del Señor, el cual es como una “pequeña pascua”. Tenemos otros tiempos como el Tiempo Ordinario y días como el Miércoles de Ceniza, con el cual comienza el tiempo penitencial de la Cuaresma. Tenemos también el tiempo Adviento y de Navidad, y las fiestas de varios santos que veneramos.

The liturgical calendar is the Church’s schedule of feasts and seasons that mark the rhythm of our life of faith. The cornerstone of the liturgical year is Sunday, the Lord’s Day, which is always a “little Easter.” We also have seasons such as Ordinary Time and days such as Ash Wednesday, which begins the penitential season of Lent. We have Advent and the Christmas season, and the feasts of the various saints we venerate.
