The lectionary

You can find out more about the lectionary in this section. The lectionary is a table of readings which gives the liturgical day or date and the scripture references for the texts to be read. Liturgies are set forms of public worship used in the Christian church. Click here to go to that page.

For more information about the festivals and seasons in the Christian year, and a moveable calendar of dates from 2007 until 2010, visit our guide to Christian festival pages.
