     The symbol for Ordinary Time is Chi-Rho which is made from the first two letters of the Greek word for Messiah (Christos).  The letter Chi (pronounced "kī") looks like an X, and the letter Rho (pronounced "rō") looks like a P.  Chi-Rho became a symbol representing Jesus Christ.
​
     "Ordinary" Time does not mean average. Ordinary here means "Not Seasonal," the part of the Liturgical Year outside the seasons of Lent-Easter and Advent-Christmas.  It is a time for the Church to celebrate the wonder of God in all things, a time to celebrate the Paschal Mystery.
​
     The readings during Ordinary Time help to instruct us on how to live our Christian faith in our daily lives. The last Sunday of Ordinary Time, the Feast of Christ the King, marks the end of the Liturgical Year.
