In my search for a deeper faith, I have been exploring following the liturgical seasons. This is something new for me, even though I grew up in the church. Yeah, sure, we had Christmas and Easter. I even remember the Advent candles, but I can't tell you what color they are supposed to be. In the last handful of years, I've even began observing Ash Wednesday and Lent. But liturgical seasons? I'd never really heard of such a thing.
As it turns out, we are currently in Ordinary Time. No, it isn't named that because it is ordinary, but because the weeks are counted using ordinal numbers.
I would like to learn how the liturgical calendar dates occur, and overlay it with the way that the Jewish calendar runs. I feel like somewhere in that combining there is a true blending of faith experiences.
