What is the Season of Creation?






From September 1 to October 4,
Christians around the world celebrate the Season of Creation.
Some of us pray, some of us do hands-on projects, some of us advocate.

We all protect creation. It’s powerfully good work that’s urgently needed.

The momentum continues long after the season ends
through ongoing prayer, changes in lifestyle, and advocacy.

During the Season of Creation, we live out our faith to care for creation.
This global celebration began in 1989 with the Ecumenical Patriarchate’s
recognition of the World Day of Prayer for Creation
and is now embraced by the wide ecumenical community.
During the Season of Creation, we unite as one family in Christ,
celebrating the bonds we share with each other and
with “every living creature on earth.” (Genesis 9:10)

The Christian family celebrates the season by spending time in prayer,
considering ways to more sustainably inhabit our common home,
and lifting our voices in the public sphere.
