The Christian year is divided up with events which remind us of the life of Jesus. It starts with the season of Advent, at the very end of November, which is a period of preparation for the coming of Christ, and then moves through the story of his life to the important focus of Holy Week and Easter. After celebrating the resurrection of Jesus, the story focuses on the founding of the Church itself, with the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, before settling down for a period of teaching and consolidation of the faith during the weeks of Trinity. Some festivals, like Christmas Day, happen on the same date every year, while others move around within a range of dates.
