A liturgical calendar specific to the year 2025 details the dates of observances within the Catholic Church. This schedule includes celebrations of significant events in the life of Jesus Christ (such as Christmas and Easter), commemorations of important saints, and other holy days. A typical example would show the date of Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, or the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
This annual guide provides structure to the liturgical year, helping the faithful anticipate and participate in the Church’s cycle of prayer and remembrance. It offers a framework for spiritual growth and communal worship, connecting individuals to historical traditions and shared beliefs. Historically, such calendars evolved from early Christian practices of marking anniversaries of martyrs and significant biblical events. Over time, these commemorations were organized into a yearly cycle, reflecting the Church’s understanding of salvation history.
