This is the Season of Christmas and the Season Color is White and Gold.
For the Western Christians, the Church Year is divided into six seasons: Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter and Pentecost.
The Christmas season begins December 25 and lasts 12 days, through January 5. Christmas Day marks the celebration of Jesus's birth. White is the liturgical color for Christmas and its season. White symbolizes purity, light and joy that the birth of God's Son brings to His people. Gold symbolizes what is precious and valuable, and so symbolizes majesty, joy, and celebration.
Looking at all of the festivals and holidays of the Christian Church year, Christmas remains the most observed and most popular. Much of that popularity, especially in the West, is due to the commercial promotion of the holiday by US advertising agencies.
Most of us think about Christmas as a single day in December however, it is actually a season of the year. In its popular sense, it begins four weeks before Christmas Day and continues for about two weeks afterwards.
Divergent to the numerous advertising campaigns that tout Christmas as beginning with Advent, the actual Christmas Season in most Western church traditions begins at sunset on Christmas Eve, December 24. It lasts through January 5 and since this time includes 12 days, the season of Christmas is known in many places as the Twelve Days of Christmas.
This website serves as a home base for our pastors serving the bush communities and bush churches throughout North America including the Alaska, the Yukon and Northwest Territories of Canada, Arizona and Old Mexico. This site also serves as a communication hub for these ministries.
We are especially proud to announce that we have a new pastor in Singapore who is establishing The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Singapore there and is also working on establishing churches in Malaysia and Indonesia.
The Lutheran Churches Of Calvary Grace (LCCG) can provide a spiritual covering for those struggling in the ministry without support, offer appropriate credentials and the opportunity for affiliation with others who share a like faith and calling. We serve those who are called by the Lord to serve His people and to take the gospels where they do not now exist. Moreover, we are a mission establishing agency and a Lutheran ecclesiastical endorsing agency.
Our credentials are recognized by federal and state governments as well as the Veterans Affairs, federal and state prison systems, hospitals and hospices. Our ministry-related services are practical and we often assist our members in areas where they cannot easily provide for themselves.
LCCG is also in association with the Association of International Mission Services (AIMS).
