Bible Translators Theologians The Lutheran Church has, from the time of the Reformation, continued the remembrance of saints.
Following the Reformation, most especially in the latter half of the twentieth century, many names were added to the calendar, both new and restored pre-Reformation commemorations.
The Calendar found below is a listing of the primary annual feasts, festivals and events that are celebrated liturgically by various Lutheran Churches in the English-speaking world.
In addition to these, some historic observances not currently found on the aforementioned calendars but appearing in earlier Lutheran uses are also provided.
[4] While extensive, the Lutheran sanctoral calendar is not presently as strictly ranked as that of the Roman Catholic Church.
