	Liturgical Year
		The liturgical year of the Church is the annual cycle of seasons and feasts that celebrate the central mystery and the central event of salvation history namely, the death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
		Within the cycle of a year, moreover, she unfolds the whole mystery of Christ, not only from his Incarnation and birth until his ascension, but also as reflected in the day of Pentecost, and in the expectation of a blessed, hoped-for return of the Lord.
		There is a connection between the annual celebration of the liturgical seasons and the yearly repetition of the seasons of nature; the phenomenon of equinox and solstice, the change from darkness to light are all natural phenomena.
