There is nothing 'ordinary' about Ordinary Time

Ordinary Time refers to the time between the strong Christian seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter. 'Ordinary' comes from the word 'ordinal' which means simply counted time. Green is the color for Ordinary Time and symbolizes new life and growth like that of the early church after Pentecost, when God sent the gift of the Holy Spirit. Green also symbolizes the hope of new life following the resurrection.
