The liturgical year of the Malankara Orthodox Church is different from the normal calendar year. It is organized in a way to commemorate the important events in the incarnate (earthly) life of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. So for the Church, every liturgical year is an annual celebration of the incarnation of God the Son for our salvation.
The liturgical year of the Malankara Orthodox Church begins with the Koodosh E’tho Sunday. (The Sunday, which comes after 29th of October of every year, is counted as the Koodosh E’tho Sunday). Sunday, 3rd of November, 2019 will be Koodosh E’tho (Sanctification of the Church) this year. The liturgical year continues through seven seasons commemorating different events in the earthly life of our Lord Jesus Christ and end on Saturday, 31st of October 2020. It is organized as seven seasons, each one specially commemorating important events occurred in the earthly life of our Lord. In each season the Church commemorates the events in the earthly life of our Lord, celebrates the feasts through observing fasts related to them.
