Liturgical seasons

The Season of Summer (also known by various Syriac transliterations such as Kaitha or Qaita) is a liturgical season in the East Syriac Rite of Christianity. The season begins on the seventh Sunday after Pentecost (just after the conclusion of the Season of Apostles) and continues for seven weeks. The Season of Summer has a theme of spiritual harvest, reflecting on the fruits of the missionary labors of the Apostles.[1]
