Septuagesima!

 Wow!, I let this one sneak up on me! It is now Septuagesima Season!

Septuagesima - 70 days - (not precisely) before Easter. The Septuagesima Season takes us to Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent. However, especially in the Extraordinary Rite, the vestments have already changed back to purple - as this is a season of penance in preparation for Lent.

This season includes Sexagesima (60 days) and Quinquagesima, (50 days) before Easter.

More to follow!
