Calendar

Christian Scientists observe the traditional holy days of the Christian calendar, but observe them with special services, lecture, prayer, and study instead of giving and receiving gifts or having loud and animated festivities. The Christian calendar revolves around the events that took place during Jesus Christ’s life, specifically Christmas and Easter. Some of the main holidays, events, and time periods in the Christian calendar include: Advent, Christmas, the Easter season, Easter Day, Ascension Day, Pentecost, Trinity Sunday, Corpus Christi, The Sacred Heart of Jesus, The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, St Michael and All Angels, and The Immaculate Conception. One of the main holidays that Christian Scientists celebrate is Thanksgiving, which is not part of the tradition Christian calendar. Thanksgiving is celebrated on a much larger scale than Christmas and Easter. Both holidays are celebrated in a more quiet fashion with special lectures and prayers.
