Liturgical Year Of Religion

Decent Essays
In the class, there is a lot of a new information, such as the Liturgical Year. It is interesting to learn about other religions. The Church year consists of six liturgical seasons: Advent, Christmas, Ordinary Time after Epiphany, Lent, Easter, and Ordinary Time after Pentecost. Seasons begin or end based on a movable feast and so some seasons vary in length from year to year, and vary as to the calendar dates. Advent begins the Sunday closest to the feast of St. Andrew, which is November 30th. Therefore Advent always falls sometime between November 28th and December 3rd, and lasts until the Nativity of the Lord. The season always has somewhere between 21 and 28 days. I found this in the class, helpful to understand about

    The road of yellow brick is an element in the novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, with additional such roads appearing in The Marvelous Land of Oz and The Patchwork Girl of Oz. The 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, based on the novel, gave it the name by which it is better known, the Yellow Brick Road (it is never referenced by that title in the original novel). In the later film The Wiz, Dorothy has to find the road, as the house was not deposited directly in front of it; in the novel and the 1939 film, Dorothy's house is placed directly in front of the road. -----------------------------------------------------…

    Similarly within western liturgy this same consistency and daily routine of worship can be seen in the four cycles of prayer which all influence each other at some point.

    Firstly, the Catholic and Protestant crises of the early 16th century most certainly left Hamlet indecisive towards his personal beliefs when meeting the ghost. First off, the reality and origin of the ghost, announcing itself as King Hamlet, makes Hamlet uncertain of its existence and purpose. During the 16th century, the quickly changing religious state between Catholic and Protestant of the Royal Family made it difficult to believe in one particular religion. The afterlife was a distinguishable and essential view within both religion. The Roman Catholics believed that ghosts were the souls of dead individuals who would return from Purgatory, and the Protestants believed that ghosts were the devil in disguise whose jobs were to convince…

    The Wiccan calendar and holidays are a little different from our own. Azilyn explained that her New Year starts at Shaman (that is October 31st) and runs through October 30th of the next calendar year. Wiccans also celebrate their greater and lesser sun holidays (more accurately Sabbats) according to an eight-spoked wheel, which corresponds with cycles of nature and symbolizes the belief in the birth, death, and rebirth cycle. Azilyn told me a beautiful story that incorporates some of the Greek pantheon (that of Demeter and Persephone) that goes with the Wheel of the Year she chose to believe in; however, she explained, there are many alternative legends Wiccans use as their explanation of why the seasons change. I would love to clarify this lore, but honestly, there is not enough room in this paper to give all the nessecerry details.…
