Lutheran Liturgical Calendar

Introduction
This is a list of the Sundays in the Lutheran liturgical calendar. Only selected feast and holy days that fall on days other than Sunday are included. The liturgy is divided into several seasons beginning with Advent, and followed by Nativity/Christmas, Epiphany, Pre-Lent (Shrovetide), Lent, Holy Week, Easter, and Ordinary Time (sometimes referred to as Pentecost and Trinty). Because of variations in the calendar the number of Sundays after Epiphany and Pentecost varies yearly. This also affects the Feast of the Transfiguration which is observed on the last Sunday in Epiphany, except in Finland and Sweden where it is observed on the 7th Sunday after Trinity/8th Sunday after Pentecost. The period between Pentecost and Advent is referred to as "Ordinary Time" as the Sundays are identified by ordinal numbering (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.).
