When Is Ordinary Time?
Ordinary Time refers to all of those parts of the Catholic Church's
liturgical year that aren't included in the major seasons
of Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter.

Why Is Ordinary Time Called Ordinary?
Ordinary Time is called "ordinary" not because it is common but simply
because the weeks of Ordinary Time are numbered. The numbered
weeks of Ordinary Time, in fact, represent the ordered life of the
Church—the period in which we live our lives neither in feasting
(as in the Christmas and Easter seasons) or in more severe
penance (as in Advent and Lent), but in watchfulness and expectation
of the Second Coming of Christ. It's appropriate, therefore, that the
Gospel for the Second Sunday of Ordinary Time (which is actually the
first Sunday celebrated in Ordinary Time) always features either John
the Baptist's acknowledgment of Christ as the Lamb of God or Christ's
first miracle —the transformation of water into wine at the wedding at Cana.
Thus for Catholics, Ordinary Time is the part of the year in which Christ,
the Lamb of God, walks among us and transforms our lives.
There's nothing "ordinary" about that!

The normal liturgical color for Ordinary Time—for those days when there
is no special feast—is green—green vestments and altar cloths.
