The civil calendar begins on 1 January and ends on 31 December, following an artificial structure based on the human organisation of time. However, the liturgical calendar does not narrate the life of the man Jesus, but the symbolic journey of the “Son of God” through a spiritual cycle.

This calendar begins between November and December, preparing for the arrival of the “Son”. Its culminating point is the Passion, death and resurrection, considered the great triumph of the Lamb.

From Easter begins the Easter season, which lasts fifty days until Pentecost, related to the summer solstice. The Ascension, for its part, takes place forty days after the resurrection.

This entire system reflects a more ancient structure: the movement of the Sun, the cycles of light and darkness, and the constant transformation of nature.
