Liturgical Year Calculator
This utility generates a table of festivals for any given year, as was commonly used in the Lutheran Church prior to the 1970s. After Vatican II, many Lutheran bodies adopted the Galican calendar which Rome introduced in 1570, in which Sundays after Trinity Sunday are counted as Sundays after Pentecost.
Though the Galican system is older, it is not commonly in use by churches which follow The Lutheran Hymnal and other older English and German hymnals. Therefore this calculator is offered for those who have not adopted the Galican calendar.
This calendar is valid for any year in the Gregorian calendar (1582 or later).
Please note: The year refers to the beginning of the Church Year and not the Calendar Year . Thus if you are looking for dates in a specific year after Advent and Chistmas, remember to subtract one from your year before entering it here.
