Do you mean the liturgical seasons such as in the Roman Catholic Church, Anglican, and Orthodox? I can help you with Catholic and Anglican , because it's similar.
Roman Catholic Church - Advent goes from the last Sunday of November or first Sunday of December and lasts 4 weeks.
Christmas Octave this goes from Xmas until Jan 6th Epiphany of the Lord.
Ordinary Time- this is the time of year between Xmas Octave until Lent and from day after the Easter Octave until the first Sunday of Advent.
Lent- This starts on Ash Wednesday and lasts until Palm Sunday hence 40 days of Lent.
Holy Week- This starts on Palm Sunday includes Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday (morning blessing service not a mass) and the Easter Vigil.
Easter Octave- (falls in the spring) This lasts 50 days from Easter Sunday until Pentecost Sunday. Ascension Thursday falls during this season.
Like I mentioned above back into Ordinary Time the Last Sunday is always Christ The King and then nest Sunday is start of Advent - in the Catholic Church this starts the new church year.
Draw a circle Advent 4 weeks (Violet), Xmas Octave (White) 12 days of Xmas - Xmas till Jan 6Th Epiphany - Ordinary time (green) - Lent (violet) starts on Ash Wednesday goes 40 days.
Holy Week Palm Sunday till Holy Saturday- Easter Octave (white)lasts 50 days Easter till Pentacost- back to Ordinary Time (green)

I may have these in the wrong order and suggest you look it up on the internet possiby under Catholicism.
Advent (begins the Church Year somewhere around the end of November. It is a few wekks of watchful waiting for the Christ's Child's birth.
Christmas Season
Epiphany (On, I think, the 6th of Jan. which is the symbolic date of the Wisemen arriving after the birth.)
Ordinary time (I believe Ordinary Time occurs at other times as well.)
Lent
Easter Season
Pentecost
Ordinary Time
We are in the Lenten Season now. It began with Ash Wednesday a couple of weeks ago. (Mardi Gras's last day is Fat Tuesday and, then, all the revelry stops on Ash Wednesday which ushers in Lent which is a time of sober reflection preparing for the Resurrection on Easter. Mardi Gras is cultural and not part of the seasons of the Church Year,)
I hope this helps. Different vestment colors are worn by the clergy as well denoting the seasons. It is a very rich symbolic tradition. I wish I had studied it more!

Hmmm... that would be the seasons that people are most likely to attend church? Let's see.....Thanksgiving season, the Christmas season, Easter, marriages, and deaths. That's the best I can do.

the ingredient is, wars do now not constantly initiate over religions and not each and every physique claims to be religious. If a conflict starts off, i visit preserve my u . s . a . even in spite of the reality that i'm a Christian. If we did now not preserve ourselves, we could be worse off. "to each and each ingredient there's a season, and a time to each and each purpose under the heaven: ... A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of conflict, and a time of peace."
