Liturgical Days to Remember

Kris Hocker on 4 Nov 2014

I’ve been reading communion lists and calculating dates recently. Here are some of the days I saw that I had to look up.

  • Easter (calendar)
  • Quasimodo Sunday (aka “St. Thomas Sunday”): 1st Sunday after Easter
  • Misericordia Sunday: 4th Sunday of Easter
  • Cantate Sunday: 4th Sunday after Easter
  • Rogate Sunday: 5th Sunday after Easter
  • Pentecost (aka “Whitsunday”): 50th day after Easter (calendar)
  • Trinity Sunday: 1st Sunday after Pentecost (calendar), 8 weeks after Easter

Many of the lists indicated the date of the church service by the number of Sundays after Trinity, making it a useful date to know.
