Lydia has once again illustrated a beautiful calendar for the upcoming season of Lent, and this year she has made two: one for the Eastern Rites as well as one for the Latin!
Young and old alike have enjoyed using these for years. You can print them out and color a space a day as a visual reminder of our progress through the season.
Please feel free to share with your parishes, homeschool groups, catechism and ECF classes, or whomever you wish.
A few notes about the Great Fast for those of you in the Latin Rite who are curious about the East: As you can see, Lent starts on the Monday before Ash Wednesday. The First Sunday, called the Sunday of Orthodoxy, refers to the triumph over Iconoclasm and the restoration of the use of icons and holy images. There are five All Souls Saturdays (three occur in Lent) in which to commemorate and pray for the dead, as opposed to All Souls Day celebrated in November.
