The season of Pentecost is the longest season of the church calendar. It begins in late spring following the end of Easter and runs until late fall, as the end of the church year approaches and is marked by the celebration of Christ the King Sunday. During the season of Pentecost, the church focuses on the events and mission of Jesus’ three-year public ministry.
During the season after Pentecost, also known as Ordinary Time, you will see green altar clothes and vestments, representing the growth in faith, joy, and gratitude we feel when we follow Jesus!
