Byzantine Basics, Liturgical Year -

New Liturgical Year

Did you know that yesterday was the start of the new liturgical year? What did you do to celebrate?
The church selected September 1st as the start of our liturgical year in honor of the victory of Emperor Constantine over Emperor Maxentius. Emperor Constantine allowed Christianity to flourish throughout the Roman empire, the complete opposite of the treatment that Christians had been given up to that point. The church was able to grow in a multitude of ways during his reign, and so the church recognizes this date as important in the life of the church.
