Roman Liturgical Calendar
The Roman Catholic liturgical calendar indicates the position of fixed and movable feasts, such as has determined. Unlike the civil calendar which measures the time , the liturgical calendar seeks only to punctuate the year by the conduct of liturgical activities. From the date of Easter , a set of rules used to find the liturgical season and dates of liturgical celebrations. This calendar has evolved during the centuries of Christianity, enriched with new festivals and feasts, to a certain heaviness. The Council of Trent and the Second Vatican Council , have each conducted a reform of the calendar, with the aim of streamlining and coherence. Some celebrations are celebrated the same day as their equivalent of the Orthodox liturgical calendar.
Summary |
The Tridentine rite , or extraordinary form of Roman rite, the celebration of which is governed in the Latin Church the motu proprio Summorum Pontificum , keep using "the old calendar."
Temporal
The temporal cycle is described in a section below to the ordinary form of the Roman rite of 1969. In books of 1962, the calendar is basically organized the same way. Some expressions change, and indicate a "solemnisation" different liturgical seasons: we speak so soon after the Epiphany , tempus post Epiphaniam of the Epiphany on the eve of Sunday Septuagesima, time of Septuagesima , tempus Septuagesima from Sunday to Tuesday Septuagesima bold. From Passion Sunday (5 th Sunday of Lent) on Holy Saturday is the time of the Passion that includes Holy Week and Easter Triduum. Whit on the eve of the first Sunday of Advent is the time after Pentecost , tempus pentecostem post.
In the calendar "Tridentine" some parties are enhanced by the presence of an "octave" Easter and Christmas, but the Epiphany, Ascension, Pentecost, Trinity and the Blessed Sacrament.
Sanctoral
Sanctoral cycle is loaded into the rite of Saint Pius V: The 1962 edition of the Roman Missal has about 260 saints' days with the overall schedule.
The calendar of the liturgical books of 1969
By the Motu proprio "Mysterii paschalis" published February 14, 1969 Principles of organization of the liturgical year The liturgical calendar consists of two superimposed cycles, the cycle of "temporal" and the cycle "sanctoral. The cycle determines the temporal sequence of liturgical seasons, especially the limits of the liturgical year that begins on the first Sunday of Advent and ends on Saturday the 34th week of Ordinary Time. The temporal cycle is essentially mobile, since it is organized around the Easter holiday. The cycle is organized in different temporal periods called liturgical : The two most important holidays of the year, Christmas and Easter are enhanced by the celebration of "Octave". As to the provision of readings during Mass on Sundays and holidays, the calendar follows a cycle of three years, which lets you browse the three Gospels called Synoptics : A year is reserved for the Gospel of Matthew , Year B reads the Gospel of Mark and it is the Gospel of Luke is read during the year C. The Gospel of John is played mainly during certain festivals every year. Read for a liturgical year one of the gospels can follow in a year, that Jesus lived during His earthly life. The chronology is not strictly followed since Jesus was born at Christmas and died on Friday , leaving much of the year blank. The mobility of the Easter holiday and, more broadly, of Lent and Easter season, that week of the cycle is interrupted at regular time periods vary from one year to another. Thus some of the Sundays of Lent can be celebrated either before Lent, after the feast of the Blessed Sacrament, or deleted. The scheme proposed below is therefore just one example. The cycle sanctoral includes the dates we celebrate the saints and the Virgin Mary. In the liturgical calendar, the Church distinguishes between universal festivities (which should be celebrated by the whole Catholic world, and who number about 180) , and special occasions that are celebrated by a city, a diocese, country, world region or religious community. The celebrations are universal calendar of saints divided into four "classes": the solemnities , the parties , the obligatory memorials and memoirs optional. The temporal cycle
