LITANIES FOR THE MONTH OF JANUARY
The month of January is right in the middle of the Christmas Season, which lasts for 40 days, beginning on Christmas Day and ending on the Feast of the Presentation of the Infant Jesus in the Temple and the Purification of Our Lady (February 2nd). During the month of January we celebrate the feast of the Circumcision of Our Lord (January 1st), the Epiphany of Our Lord (January 6th), and the feast of the Holy Family (traditionally celebrated on the Sunday after the Epiphany). The entire Christmas season is, sadly, an acceleration through the infancy and childhood of Jesus, for it all has to be "crammed-in" before the seasons of Septuagesima and Lent arrive, which can be as early as the end of January.
