The Twelve Great Feasts of the liturgical calendar
The liturgical year, also known as the church year or Christian year, consists of the cycle of liturgical seasons in Christian churches that determines when feast days, including celebrations of saints, are to be observed, and which portions of Scripture are to be read either in an annual cycle or in a cycle of several years.
Note: This series of Eastern Orthodox icons was painted for a private collector in Vancouver BC, Canada. If you are interested in the entire series or an individual icon, please contact the iconographer, Alina Smolyansky (smolyansky.a(at)gmail(dot)com)
