"Ordinary Time"

In the Church's liturgical calendar there are two periods known as "ordinary time". The first is the period between Epiphany and Ash Wednesday (the beginning of Lent); the second and much longer "ordinary time" is that between Pentecost and the first Sunday of Advent (which is the Sunday nearest Saint Andrew's Day, November 30). This second period begins with three successive Solemnities (Trinity, Corpus Christi and the Sacred Heart of Jesus). The principal feasts and solemnities of "Ordinary Time II" are listed below chronologically.

Trinity (SOLEMNITY - Sunday after Pentecost)

The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi) (SOLEMNITY - Second Sunday after Pentecost, or the Thursday after Trinity Sunday)
