Epiphany Season lasts sundown the day before January 6 until Lent/Ash Wednesday. Jan. 6 is 3 Kings Day! Green is also the color.
Lent Season is the 40 days (not including Sundays) from Ash Wed. to the Sat. before Easter. Holy Week lasts the last 7 days of Lent: Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday. Easter Sunday varies.
The Easter Season is 50 days long from Easter Sunday through Pentecost Day.
What does Pentecost mean? 50th
Pentecost Day is the day the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles, causing them to speak in tongues. Why was this a big deal? It's celebrated by some on the 50th day (the seventh Sunday) after Easter Sunday.
Pentecost Season lasts through November, until Advent begins.
GREAT HYMN - sing a long
Colors vary among churches. For example, blue-purple for Advent and red-purple for Lent or vice-versa are seen. Church seasons follow the major events of Christ's life. Since the seasons are not commanded in scripture, it's something NOT all Christians must observe or observe in the same way.
