Printable Christian Calendar
The Liturgical Year
The church year of seasons and feasts, on the same calendar your family plans everyday life by.
Build Your Christian CalendarLast updated: July 26, 2026
Christian life follows the church year: Advent through Christmas, Lent through Easter to Pentecost, with the movable feasts landing somewhere new every year. Family life follows the same Gregorian dates as everyone else.
A CultureSync Christian calendar keeps both on one grid. The Christian calendar shares its dates with the Gregorian calendar, so nothing renders twice: you get one clean calendar carrying the Christian holidays you choose, the civic holidays you want, and your family's dates.
Easter and the days around it are placed correctly for the year you build. Most calendars are ready in minutes, and your dates stay saved for updates all year.
What’s included?
- Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, and Easter Monday, each an individual toggle
- The movable days computed correctly for your year: Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Easter Monday
- US, Canadian, and UN civic holiday sets, if you want them
- Personal days: birthdays, anniversaries, memorials, sacrament dates
- Full customization: fonts, colors, monthly or year-at-a-glance layouts
- Print-ready PDF sized for Letter, A4, or A3 (A1/A0 for yearly posters)

Dates follow Western (Gregorian) observance. Some Orthodox churches calculate Easter by the Julian calendar, which is why Orthodox Easter often falls on a different Sunday.
How does this calendar work?
The Christian calendar is not a separate dating system: it overlays the Gregorian calendar with the liturgical year, a cycle of seasons that retells the life of Jesus from Advent to Pentecost.
Christmas and the feasts around it are fixed dates. Easter moves: the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the spring equinox, anywhere from late March to late April, and Lent, Holy Week, Ascension, and Pentecost move with it.
CultureSync computes Easter and the days around it for whichever year you build, and because Christian and Gregorian dates are the same, your calendar stays one clean grid however many holiday sets you add.

Frequently asked questions
Easter follows the traditional rule: the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the spring equinox. Good Friday and Easter Monday move with it, and Gregorian leap days never disturb the rule. CultureSync computes all three for whichever year you build.
No. The Christian calendar uses Gregorian dates and adds the liturgical year on top. If you enable both in CultureSync, your calendar still renders as one clean grid: the dates appear once, with the holiday sets you chose.
Dates shown follow Western (Catholic and Protestant) observance. Some Orthodox churches calculate Easter by the Julian calendar, so Orthodox Easter often differs; the Christian holidays guide lists both.
Yes. Any calendar system in CultureSync can be combined with any other: add Hebrew or Chinese dates and holidays to the same grid, alongside the Christian feasts.
Monthly layouts print on Letter, A4, or A3 paper. The year-at-a-glance layout is designed for large-format A1 or A0 posters. All PDFs are print-ready with correct margins.
