The Christmas Season extends from Evening Prayer of Christmas Eve through the Baptism of the Lord (Sunday, January 11, 2026).

The Jubilee Year proclaimed by Pope Francis will conclude with the closing of the Holy Door by Pope Leo XIV in St. Peter’s Basilica on Saturday, January 6, the Solemnity of the Lord’s Epiphany.
