PRAYING THE TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS (LATIN -ENGLISH BOOKLET MISSAL...the Little Red Book)
By now, you have received your free parish calendar. So why are Traditional Calendars so important? Have you noticed that last December, the Feast Day of the "Immaculate Conception of the BVM" was noted on Sunday Dec. 8, 2024 in the E.F. but was shown as on Dec. 9th in O.T.??
Yes, there is Extraordinary Form has a different calendar (the old calendar of the millenium). This February 2nd, in the Extraordinary Form calendar will show "the Feast Day of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary". But there is also another name, the Ordinary Time calendar will call it "The Presentation of the Lord" in Ordinary Time. Why is also called "Candlemas"? If you know your catechism, isn't that the same thing? What is the correct name? Is it a Marian Feast or the Feast of the Lord? The last time this Feast day fell on a Sunday was in 2003.
