Ordinary Time, meaning ordered or numbered time, is celebrated in two segments: From Monday following the Baptism of Our Lord up to Ash Wednesday; and from Pentecost Monday to the first Sunday of advent. This makes the largest season of the Liturgical Year. Vestment Usually green, the colour of hope and growth, the Church counts the thirty-three or thirty-four Sundays of Ordinary time, inviting her children to meditate upon the whole of Christ -his life, miracles and teaching- in the light of his Resurrection. If the faithful are to mature in spiritual life and increase in faith, they must descend the great mountain peaks of Easter and Christmas in order to "pasture" in the vast verdant meadows of tempus per annum, or Ordinary time.
