The Calendar – SSF

CLASSIFICATION

Holy Days are either Feasts (Class I or Class II), or Memorials (Class III). Where no classification is given, a local decision should be made. Holy Days marked with an asterisk (*) are those additionally observed by SSF and are not in the Calendar of the ASB. Holy Days may be celebrated in the following way: ..lh2 ..lh10 Class I Morning and Evening Prayer are of the feast, with proper psalms and readings. The celebration begins either with the First Evening Prayer or a Vigil and ends at Night Prayer the following day. Midday Prayer is of the ordinary day of the week, irrespective of the feast. Seasonal propers are available, though optional. Night Prayer is of the feast, with a reading and the festal refrain on the gospel canticle. ..lh2 ..lh10 Class II Morning and Evening Prayer are of the feast, with proper psalms and readings. Midday Prayer is of the ordinary day of the week, irrespective of the feast. Seasonal propers are available, though optional. Night Prayer is of the feast, with a reading and the festal refrain on the gospel canticle. ..lh2 ..lh10 Class III Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer are of the ordinary day or season, with the collect of the commemoration. Common propers may be used. Midday Prayer is of the ordinary day of the week. Seasonal propers are available, though optional. Night Prayer is of the ordinary day or season. When saints’ days are observed in festal and penitential seasons, the choice of psalms, readings and hymns should, as far as possible, reflect the character of the season and maintain its continuity. DAYS OF SPECIAL OBSERVANCE

Christmas Eve and Easter Eve are days of preparation and vigil, therefore the collects of Christmas Day and Easter Day are not said on Christmas Eve and Easter Eve respectively.

Ash Wednesday, the days of Holy Week and the Commemoration of the Faithful Departed (2 November) are days of special devotion. The days after Christmas until 6 January, and the days of Easter Week, are days of special thanksgiving.

The nine days after Ascension Day until Pentecost are days of prayer and preparation to celebrate the outpouring of the Spirit.

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, usually observed 18 to 25 January, may be observed between the alternative dates of Ascension Day and the feast of Pentecost (as it is in some parts of the world).

Ember Days, Rogation Days and Harvest Thanksgivings are observed at the Eucharist. If there is no celebration of the Eucharist, a collect from the ASB may be used in the Office.
