Turn the wheel to any day of the year. Each day is painted in its liturgical colour; the Sundays are the longer strokes, and the gold beads are the holy days.

CSI Almanac 2026

Published by the authority of The Synod of the Church of South India · 95 pages

The themes and lessons for Sundays and other Feast / Commemoration days are adopted from the Year A of the revised three cycled common Lectionary prepared by the "Worship and Mission Commission" of the Communion of Churches in India (Joint Council of the CSI, CNI and the Mar Thoma Church). The collects are prepared by the CSI Liturgy Committee and follow the lectionary themes.

The readings for week-days follow the Year B of Daily Reading prepared by the CSI Synod Liturgy Committee to cover the Old Testament once in three years and the New Testament twice in three years. A table of Psalms for daily reading is also provided.
