Advent. Christmas. Epiphany. Lent. Easter. Pentecost. Ordinary Time. A few special days and observances thrown in. Is there something you would like to add or delete from the annual run of seasons or days in the Liruegical Calendar? Any changes or adjustments you think should be made? (For example, let the second Sunday in April be Easter?)
So I heard on the CBC local news this morning that the next apocalypse is forecast for 2012. This has something to do with the Mayan calendar cycle ending on that year (the ancient Mayan calendar has several cycles, this is the end of one of the longest). According to some proponents, "modern astronomers" have also found evidence that the year 2012 is likely to be the timing of the apocalyse. The radio news segment then cut to an astronomer laughing in response.
