The Year of Story
A living calendar of feast days, seasons, and stories — shaped by sacred time and the rhythm of the year.
The Year of Story is an ongoing, seasonal project — part calendar, part reflection, part gathering of memory.
It follows the turning of the year through feast days, midsummer and midwinter, saints and customs, story and symbolism. It is attentive to the liturgical year, to older rhythms of time, and to the way stories return to us when we learn to notice them.
This is not a productivity tool or a program to complete.
It is a way of walking the year with attention.
A note on the seasons
Damascena follows the rhythm of the Southern Hemisphere, where the light, the land, and the seasons turn differently to inherited Northern calendars. The year here opens in summer.
In the traditional liturgical calendar, Advent marks the beginning of the year — a season of waiting, attention, and preparation. In the Southern Hemisphere, Advent arrives in the fullness of light: long days, heat, harvest, and motion.
