At Epiphany (real Epiphany is today) we Latins have – traditionally – chanted a solemn proclamation of the key liturgical dates or movable feasts for the new year of salvation, just begun.
This underscores how these dates and seasons are all interconnected.
The liturgical year is a reflection of and on the mystery of our salvation. And, never forget, the mysteries shape us.
We are our rites.
Some liturgical dates are movable. For example Septuagesima this year is 0n 16 February. This beginning of Pre-Lent doesn’t fall on the same date every year because the date of Easter changes each year. In 2023 Septuagesima was on 4 February.

Dear Fr. Z.
As always, a big thank you for your dedicated Priesthood and holy guidance in this increasingly insane world.
You mentioned that Septuagesima is on 23 February 2025. My Ordo, from The St. Lawrence Press Ltd, shows Septuagesima as on 16 February 2025.
Please advise which is correct.
In Domino
Zephyrinus.
