Church of England Liturgical Calendar 2026
The Church of England Liturgical Calendar for 2026 is filled with a rich tapestry of celebrations, observances, and moments of reflection. As we look ahead to the coming year, we can anticipate a journey through the seasons of the church that will inspire, challenge, and uplift us in our faith.
From the joy of Christmas to the solemnity of Lent, from the celebration of Easter to the reflection of Advent, each season on the liturgical calendar offers us a unique opportunity to connect with God and with one another. As we mark the passage of time through these sacred moments, we are reminded of the eternal presence of God in our lives and in the world around us.
A Year of Renewal
In 2026, the Church of England Liturgical Calendar invites us to embrace a year of renewal and transformation. As we journey through the seasons, we are called to deepen our relationship with God, to seek forgiveness and reconciliation, and to open our hearts to the movement of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
During the season of Lent, we are invited to engage in prayer, fasting, and acts of charity as we prepare ourselves for the joy of Easter. This period of reflection and repentance allows us to turn away from the distractions of the world and focus our attention on God’s redeeming love.
Celebrating the Saints
Throughout the year, the Church of England Liturgical Calendar also provides us with opportunities to celebrate the lives of the saints – men and women who have lived out their faith with courage, compassion, and grace. From St. George to St. Mary Magdalene, from St. Francis of Assisi to St. Teresa of Avila, these holy men and women inspire us to live out our own faith with boldness and humility.
As we commemorate the feast days of the saints, we are reminded of the great cloud of witnesses that surrounds us – a community of believers who have gone before us and who continue to intercede for us in the presence of God. Their example challenges us to walk in their footsteps, to embody the love of Christ in our daily lives, and to bring hope and healing to a world in need.
Let us embrace the Church of England Liturgical Calendar for 2026 with open hearts and minds, ready to be transformed by the power of God’s love and grace. May each season, each celebration, and each moment of reflection draw us closer to God and to one another, as we journey together in faith and hope.
