On Ubuntu Phone, I have the "Calendar" app from "Ubuntu Core App Developers".
How can I sync an .ics calendar between Thunderbird/Lightning and the app, "Calendar"?
How can I import an .ics calendar file to the app, "Calendar"?

As far as I know you must have a google account or a caldav server to sync Calendar with Ubuntu Phone.

Hello (It is late for an answer, I know),
To import your calendar on Ubuntu Touch just follow this step:
- Rename your calendar .ics file as calendar.ics
- Put this file in
$HOME/.local/share/evolution/calendar/system/on Ubuntu Touch (you may need ssh or the Ubuntu Terminal) - Then, reboot your phone

The Calendar Core App doesn't support external calendars yet. But the app (at least the back end) uses SyncEvolution. It can import ics/iCalendar files:
syncevolution --import calendar.ics backend=evolution-calendar database=system-calendar
SyncEvolution itself does not support subscribing, but you can setup a cron job that fetches the file in question with wget (any public ics calendar) or you could use rsync/scp/sftp/whatever (for syncing between private devices). Two examples below, but beware: I've not tested them, yet.
$ wget -O https://example.org/public-ical.ics | syncevolution --import - backend=evolution-calendar database=system-calendar
$ scp user@myotherdevice:ical-in-home.ics myotherdevice.ics &&
syncevolution --import - backend=evolution-calendar database=system-calendar &&
rm myotherdevice.ics

It is my understanding that currently only Google calendars can be added to the core calendar app. I have logged a question about this on here and even logged a bug report in Launchpad.
