Ordinary Time - Ordinary Time refers to all of those parts of the Catholic
Church's liturgical year that aren't included in the major seasons of Advent,
Christmas, Lent, and Easter.
Ordinary Time (Latin: Tempus per annum) is the part of the liturgical year in
the liturgy of the Roman Rite, as revised in 1969, which falls outside the two great
seasons of Christmastide and Eastertide, or their respective preparatory seasons
of Advent and Lent. Ordinary Time thus includes the days between
Christmastide and Lent, and between Eastertide and Advent. The liturgical
color assigned to Ordinary Time is green. The last Sunday of Ordinary Time is
the Solemnity of Christ the King.
The word "ordinary" as used here comes from the ordinal numerals by which the
weeks are identified or counted, from the 1st week of Ordinary Time in January
to the 34th week that begins toward the end of November.
