It is the feast of St Athanasius in both the new and old calendars. <br /><br />The longer answer is that the Ordo I have given is according to the 1962/3 rubrics. At the moment in the Church there are essentially two calendars (well really a lot more, but think of them as two with variants!) running in parallel, both of which can legitimately be used.<br /><br />One essentially relates to the missal of Paul VI (Novus Ordo or Ordinary Form), in which this coming Sunday is the fourth Sunday after Easter.<br /><br />The other relates to the missal of John XXIII (Extraordinary Form, Traditional Latin Mass, etc), even though we celebrated Easter on the same day, we are only up to the Third Sunday!<br /><br />Religious orders and monasteries prepare their own ordos incorporating their own feasts and excluding some working from one or other of these these 'base' calendars.<br /><br />Because the Farnborough diurnal uses antiphons and readings that essentially line up with the traditional mass, that is the calendar I'm working from on this blog.<br /><br />And just to confuse things further, I note that there is another Ordo around for the Monastic Diurnal published by Lancelot Andrewes Press which uses the Orthodox calendar, and according to which this coming Sunday would have been, I think the second Sunday after Easter I think, were it not Holy Cross Day (as it was in the pre-1962 Traditional Roman calendar!).<br /><br />We all agree on the date for St Athanasius however!<br /><br />In the not too distant future I plan to do a few posts on choice of calendars!Kate Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01000040465724868745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16185910560920602.post-41393269399132367842009-05-02T06:41:00.000+10:002009-05-02T06:41:00.000+10:00I'm a bit confused...I see in a copy of the Roman ...I'm a bit confused...I see in a copy of the Roman calendar that May 3 is the 4th Sunday after Easter, whereas in your ordo you list it as the third. Calendar issues aside for now, may I assume that the ordo for St. Atanasius, May 2, as given in your blog, is correct for a Roman Catholic?<br />Mike HAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
