{{Short description|Christian liturgical period}} [[File:135 funnekotter.jpg|thumb|Green is the liturgical colour of Ordinary Time.]] {{Use dmy dates|date=August 2019}} {{Liturgical year}} '''Ordinary Time''' ({{langx|la|Tempus per annum}}) is the part of the [[liturgical year]] in the [[liturgy]] of the [[Roman Rite]], which falls outside the two great seasons of [[Christmastide]] and [[Eastertide]], or their respective preparatory seasons of [[Advent]] and [[Lent]].<ref>[https://www.liturgyoffice.org.uk/Calendar/Info/GNLY.pdf Universal Norms on the Liturgical Year and the Calendar, 43] (PDF)</ref> Ordinary Time thus includes the days between Christmastide and Lent, and between Eastertide and Advent. The [[liturgical color]] assigned to Ordinary Time is [[green]]. The last Sunday of Ordinary Time is the [[Solemnity of Christ the King]]. The word "ordinary" as used here comes from the [[ordinal numeral]]s by which the weeks are identified or counted, from the 1st week of Ordinary Time in January to the 34th week that begins toward the end of November.<ref>{{citation|url=https://www.learnreligions.com/ordinary-time-in-the-catholic-church-542442|title=What Ordinary Time Means in the Catholic Church|year=2018|language=en|access-date=4 January 2020|quote=Ordinary Time is called "ordinary" not because it is common but simply because the weeks of Ordinary Time are numbered.}}</ref>{{Better source needed|reason=The reference could simply state opinion; there is no authoritative source cited|date=August 2022}}
