School Collective Worship will follow the Church’s Seasons
Advent
- Is the first Sunday of the Church’s year
- It is the fourth Sunday before Christmas
- It is the time to prepare ourselves to celebrate the birth of Jesus
- The advent candles are lit during this season
Christmas
- Celebrating the birth of Jesus
- The fixed date of 25th December (was originally the date of a pagan festival)
Epiphany
- January 6th – 12 days after Christmas
- Remembers the baptism of Jesus and the Good News being taken to the Gentiles (non-Jews)
- Often linked to the arrival of the Wise Men in Bethlehem
Lent
- A time to reflect on ourselves and our relationship with God
- Starts on Ash Wednesday and continues for 40 days (the length of time Jesus was in the wilderness and was tempted by the devil)
- Christians often ‘give up’ something for Lent
- The 4th Sunday of Lent is ‘Mothering Sunday’ or ‘Refreshment Sunday’ when the disciplines of Lent can be rested!
Holy Week
- Palm Sunday / Maundy Thursday / Good Friday
Easter
- The resurrection and appearances of Jesus
Pentecost
- Celebrating the coming of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost (50 days after Easter) and the beginning of the mission of the Church
‘Ordinary ‘Time
- The Sundays which follow Pentecost (except Trinity Sunday) are sometimes called Sundays in ‘Ordinary Time’
- This season includes, Harvest Trinity Sunday and All Saints day
- The four basic liturgical colours are white, green, red and purple. The traditional symbolism of these colours is:
- WHITE/GOLD – innocence, purity, victory, joy, resurrection;
- GREEN – hope, growth, increase, life;
- RED ‐ sacrifice (particularly the sacrifice of life), charity, zeal, Holy Spirit;
- PURPLE – sorrow, penitence, preparation.
