At Epiphany (real Epiphany is 6 January) we Latins have traditionally chanted a solemn proclamation of the key liturgical dates or movable feasts for the new year of salvation, just begun.
This underscores how these dates and seasons are all interconnected.
The liturgical year is a reflection of and on the mystery of our salvation. And, never forget, the mysteries shape us.
We are our rites.
Some liturgical dates are movable. For example Septuagesima this year is 0n 1 February, early. In 2025 Septuagesima was on 16 February, over two weeks later. This beginning of Pre-Lent doesn’t fall on the same date every year because the date of Easter changes each year.

NB: It has Ascension Thursday on the correct day!
Better late than never.
