Liturgical Colour: Violet
Lent is a season of preparation for the death and resurrection of Jesus. Thus, elements celebrating the risen Christ are usually omitted during Lent. Please refer to the Service Order and Liturgy and Prayer tabs for further details.
In Year C, Harvest Thanksgiving may be celebrated this Sunday if you choose. You can find Liturgy, Prayer and Music Suggestion resources here. You can find the full suite of Harvest Thanksgiving resources here.
Note: The Harvest Thanksgiving festival may be celebrated on any day of the church year, as is appropriate in the local context. It is customary in many places to commemorate the festival on one of the Sundays after Epiphany, normally before the beginning of Lent. In year C, however, the first reading for Harvest Thanksgiving is the same as the first reading for the First Sunday in Lent, so in year C you may consider making an exception and celebrating Harvest Thanksgiving on the First Sunday in Lent.
