Wood liturgical calendar of the liturgical year to help learn about and track the church year. 


Deep Sunday prisms aid in placement and are easy for smaller hands to manipulate. 


Montessori faith formation includes atrium and other options, at churches, in schools or at home. 


Options: 


Standard Liturgical Calendar

    Easter, Pentecost and Christmas are full arrows that "sink" into the center circle to ensure precise placement. These allow for 9 Sunday prisms between Christmas Day and the start of Lent. 6 prisms for Lent, then Easter, for a total of 15 Sunday prisms between Christmas Day and Easter Sunday. 

Season names: Advent, Christmas, Ordinary Time, Lent, Easter, Ordinary Time

Flip the center-piece over to change the calendar between counter-clockwise and clockwise. 

Holy Spirit: the dove and flame are both provided for you to select which to use. The control chart has both symbols on it. 


Finding the Date of Easter Liturgical Calendar

    Built as described above, except that Christmas ends before sinking into the center circle so you can easily shift the space between Christmas and Easter, move the Sunday pieces of Ordinary Time to fill in the space. In this way the wood arrows and center circle serve double duty. It also includes discs for the seasons and the full moons. 

Finding the Date of Easter pieces only flow counter-clockwise to follow the Montessori (and others') perspective that "God's time is not our time". Want clockwise-only anyway? Please request in checkout comments. 


Standard Calendar and Finding the Date of Easter portions 

     The center circle, arrows, and season arcs are duplicated: one set for standard and the second set for finding the date of Easter. Also includes season and moon circles. 

Finding the Date of Easter pieces only flow counter-clockwise to follow the Montessori (and others') perspective that "God's time is not our time". Want clockwise-only anyway? Please request in checkout comments. 


Godly Play / Young Children & Worship Liturgical Calendar

    Easter and Pentecost are full size arrows but Christmas ends before sinking into the center circle so you can easily shift the space between Christmas and Easter, move the Sunday pieces of Ordinary Time to fill in the space, adjusting the liturgical calendar year as you go. 


Children of Light Liturgical Calendar

    Introduced in The Child in the Church, this version is 2 circles to study the solar calendar versus the liturgical calendar. 3rd set adds on Sunday prisms with labels for all Sundays and major feast days. 


Extraordinary Form Liturgical Calendar

    Cut (and painted if selected) to follow the Tridentine Calendar. 

    Easter, Pentecost and Christmas are full arrows that "sink" into the center circle to ensure precise placement. These allow for 9 Sunday prisms between Christmas Day and the start of Lent. 6 prisms for Lent, then Easter, for a total of 15 Sunday prisms between Christmas Day and Easter Sunday. 

Season names: Advent, Christmas, Sundays after Epiphany, Lent, Easter, Sundays after Pentecost

        Want different specifications? Please provide details either in checkout comments or via e-mail. We are happy to accommodate! 

If we paint this for you, three of the Ordinary Time prisms will be painted with purple on the underside to use for Septuagesima. 

Flip the center-piece over to change the calendar between counter-clockwise and clockwise. 

Holy Spirit: the dove and flame are both provided for you to select which to use. The control chart has both symbols on it. 

Finding the Date of Easter pieces only flow counter-clockwise to follow the Montessori (and others') perspective that "God's time is not our time". Want clockwise-only anyway? Please request in checkout comments. 


Byzantine Liturgical Calendar

    Cut and engraved (and painted if selected) to follow the Byzantine Calendar. 

    Season names on the arcs: Nativity Fast, (blank piece between Nativity and Theophany), (please provide the name you want for the season after Theophany), Great Fast, Season of Pascha, Season of Pentecost 

(please note any differences you want in comments at checkout - or e-mail us first!)


Control chart for each liturgical calendar option above allows children to place the pieces on the chart and back onto the puzzle base. The same size image of the calendar you order is engraved onto the wood of the control chart. Want a control chart for a calendar you already have? Please contact us for how we can do that for you!
