year, liturgical. In the W. Church the Christian year is based on the
week and on the festivals of
Easter and
Christmas. It begins with the period leading up to
Christmas. The ASB reckoned nine Sundays before Christmas, but in most calendars the year starts with the First Sunday in
Advent. Sundays have traditionally been numbered through Advent, after Christmas and after
Epiphany, through
Lent, after Easter, and after
Whitsunday or
Trinity Sunday. According to the calendar introduced into the RC Church in 1969, after Epiphany the ‘Sundays of the Year’ are numbered consecutively, excluding the period from the beginning of Lent to Whitsunday. In the E.
Orthodox Church the liturgical year has much the same shape as in the W., except that it begins on 1 Sept. (the beginning of the tax year in the Byzantine Empire), and the Sundays outside the period of Lent-Eastertide are numbered ‘after Pentecost’. The period Lent-Eastertide embraces the ten weeks before Easter to the Sunday after Pentecost.
