Septuagesima Sunday
February 16 @ 9:30 am - 1:00 pm EST
Septuagesima Sunday is a significant moment in the Christian liturgical calendar, observed about 70 days before Easter. This Sunday marks the beginning of a three-week pre-Lenten season, inviting us to reflect on our spiritual journeys. The name “Septuagesima,” meaning seventy in Latin, highlights a call to prepare our hearts and minds for the sacred season ahead.
As we gather, the rich symbolism of the purple liturgical color reminds us of penance and solemnity, urging us to embrace a spirit of introspection. The readings and themes invite us to consider our labors in life, our call to repentance, and the profound meaning of the upcoming Lenten journey. This time offers a powerful opportunity for spiritual growth, reminding us of the importance of personal and communal conversion as we prepare to deepen our commitment to faith.
