The Christian Year
An older clock for the household.
The church year is a way of telling time that does not turn faster than prayer can keep up. Advent. Christmas. Epiphany. Lent. Easter. Pentecost. And the long, walking Ordinary Time. Below is the daily reading plan that walks the whole King James Bible in one quiet year.
Walk through the whole Word.
Three chapters from the Old Testament. One from the New. Every day, for a year. A gentle rhythm — start any day, no streaks, no shame. Today's reading is ready below.
365 days · 10 book families
Two concentric rings — the inner ring is the liturgical year (Advent through Pentecost), the outer ring is the 365 days of Bible reading. Together they show you where the household is in both clocks. Hover or tap any day.
Eight seasons. One Christ.
As the household walks through the daily reading, the church year carries its own rhythm — Advent through Pentecost and the long walk of Ordinary Time. Each season anchors the Word in time.
