2022 Liturgical Calendar
Mar 2021 — Apr 2021
Christianity is among those influential belief systems today. However, Christian belief, from my perspective, has to be re-contemplated by oneself in this modern world. Rethinking the notion of Christianity is the purpose of this 2022 Liturgical Calendar. It is to uphold alternative ways to reread the meta belief system and review the experiences of observing calendar in relation to God.
This week-based calendar is crafted to effectively indicate various dates for celebrating saints and the Lord Jesus Christ in the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church. It is also a calendar for those who believe to commemorate the divine experiences God had been going through, to witness the life and work of Jesus Christ.
Besides observing it, the other important objective of this calendar is to encourage us to live our life in parallel with God’s life. That being said, every page is printed single-sided so as the calendar users will be able to make textual notes or stick images onto the other unprinted pages, constructing a lively and personalized relationship with themselves and with God, equally.
In order to relive the Christ’s life, the calendar is designed to be inversely flipped through, in which it has to be flipped from rear to front side when entering a new week (adding a new page each week, opposite to the direction of a regular calendar.) By this reverse flipping, the experience of measuring time in Liturgical context is also reimagined.
