Lectionary Readings, Year C
Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany
Scripture Readings from the Revised Common Lectionary
The Church Year begins with Advent in November/December.
This is YEAR
C
of readings in the Revised
Common Lectionary.
Year A: 2007-2008, 2010-2011, 2013-2014
Year B: 2008-2009, 2011-2012, 2014-2015
Year C: 2009-2010, 2012-2013, 2015-2016
The date of Easter is
variable between March 22 and April 25. As a result, the number of
Sundays in Epiphany varies between 6 and 10; when Easter occurs early,
some Sundays of Epiphany are not used. The dates given here are the
range of dates on which the Sundays can fall.
Usually, the Psalm readings are from the Old Testament Book of
Psalms. However, in some cases, for example during Advent, the
Psalm reading is a responsorial reading from the New Testament or
another biblical book. For a few Sundays During the Easter Season,
the Old Testament readings are replaced with readings from the Book of
Acts.
