What is Season of Creation?

Season of Creation is a global movement that invites Christians to celebrate, pray and act to protect creation.

It is an opportunity for Christians throughout the world to renew their relationship with God’s

creation.

When is Season of Creation ?

Every year from 1st September - 4th October

Season of Creation starts on the World Day of Prayer for Creation (1st September) and ends on the feast day for St Francis of Assisi.

Each year Season of Creation takes a different theme based on a verse from the bible.

Season of Creation theme for 2026: LIVING WATER based on Ezekiel 47:1-12

The passage portrays God’s life-giving water flowing from the temple of God. The river grows deeper and deeper restoring barren land, reviving waters, and sustaining flourishing ecosystems. The vision invites human responsibility: recognising ecological damage, embracing interconnectedness, we are called to immerse ourselves in the water, and actively safeguarding and working for the renewal of creation so that environmental healing and human well-being may flourish together.
