Ordinary Time

As Sundays in Ordinary Time be in the church year the Roman Catholic Church as well as in English-speaking Protestant churches that follow the Revised Common Lectionary, refers to those Sundays that do not belong to Christmas circle or for Easter circle and are also displaced by any other celebration. This time is called collectively " time in Ordinary Time " (Latin: tempus per annum, English: ordinary time). Sunday count follows a count of the reading weeks, which is for the Liturgy of the Hours of importance. The liturgical color is green.

In the evangelical church year these Sundays match the Sundays after Epiphany and the Sundays after Trinity.

Count

The count is based on counting the weeks of Ordinary Time, which includes 33 or 34 weeks. Counting begins with the week after the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, nor heard even at Christmas circle. The Sunday after the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord is thus always the 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time - actually: Sunday the 2nd Week in Ordinary Time. The count includes the Sundays up for Lent, which adjoins the Easter season, and will continue with the week after Pentecost. Because of the changing date of Easter varies against the number of Sundays and after the Easter period. On the last Sunday of the liturgical year, the Sunday before the first Sunday of Advent, the Christ the King is celebrated.

Has one year to the calendar only 33 Sundays in Ordinary Time is, in the counting of the Sunday of Pentecost would be his turn skipped. Thus the eschatological aligned liturgical texts of the 33rd and 34th week are always read.

Extraordinary form

Until the liturgical reforms of the Second Vatican Council, the two to six Sundays before the pre-Lenten (Sunday Septuagesima ) were referred to as " Sundays after the Epiphany " and the 24 to 28 Sundays after Easter as " Sundays after Pentecost ". If there were fewer Sunday after the Epiphany because of an earlier timing of Easter, these were called " subsequently reflected Sunday after the Epiphany " to the end of the liturgical year, between the 23th and 24th Sunday after Pentecost, misplaced.

Lectionary

In the second reading of the Holy Mass of Sundays in Ordinary be read as a path sequentially reading passages from the New Testament epistles.
