THE ORDER OF THE HOLY CROSSORDO 2021Holy Cross Monastery EditionWest Park, NYThe Ordo of the Order of the Holy Cross is the official calendar of feasts and fasts observed in our community along with their rank or degree of solemnity. This Ordo follows the calendar authorized by the Chapter of the Order in 2017. It may be used with The Monastic Breviary in either its 1976 or revised forms, with the service books published by the Camaldolese Benedictines, or with any other authorized form of the daily office.Observances listed as First Class feasts begin with First Vespers on the preceding evening and generally take precedence over all other observances. Second Class feasts do not have a First Vespers; their Vespers take precedence over the Saturday Vespers preceding an ordinary Sunday. Third Class feasts are observed with their own office, elements of which are taken either from the Proper or the Common of Saints in the service books used. Fourth Class feasts, also called Optional Commemorations, do not have their own office but may be commemorated at Matins [or Lauds] and Vespers or observed at the Eucharist of the day or both. A table of such commemorations recently observed in our Order can be found at the end of this booklet. Local communities or households will need to determine if and how they wish to observe them.In this Ordo, First and Second Class feasts that are impeded are transferred to the next day of lesser rank. Local communities or households may choose to transfer them to some other available day in the week that follows their assigned date.A table of abbreviations used in the Ordo can be found at the end of the calendar along with notes on liturgical colors.Eucharistic LectionaryYear B Golden Number: 8Daily Office LectionaryYear One Sunday Letter: c 2020NOVEMBER28SaFeriaVp Advent II29SuAdvent I (+ William E.

AmenOPTIONAL COMMEMORATIONS AND FOURTH CLASS FEASTSThese are traditional observances in the OHC calendar. Any of these as well as any others authorized by the local Province or diocese of the Church may be observed if and as desired. These feasts are entirely optional and are observed at the discretion of the local household, but some at least should be observed or commemorated to connect the local household to the history and culture of the wider church and of its own Province. Each household will need to carefully consider the extent and nature of such observances. Those in bold face were previously observed as second or third class.GeneralJanuary: 10: William Laud; 13: Hilary; 19: Wulfstan; 20: Fabian; 22: Vincent; 24: Francis de Sales; 26: Timothy & Titus; 30: CharlesFebruary: 3: Anskar; 4: Cornelius the Centurion; 5: Martyrs of Japan; 9: Cyril of Alexandria; 15: Thomas Bray; 16: Gilbert; 21: Peter Damian; 22: Joseph of Arimathea; 27: George HerbertMarch: 1: David; 2: Chad; 3: John & Charles Wesley; 7: Perpetua and her Companions; 10: Forty Martyrs of Sebaste; 11: Edward King; 18: Cyril of Jerusalem; 20: Cuthbert; 21: All Saints of the Benedictine Family; 22: Thomas Ken; 23: Gregory the Illuminator; 27: Charles Henry Brent; 29: John Keble; 31: John DonneApril: 1: Frederick Denison Maurice; 2: James Lloyd Breck; 3: Richard of Chichester; 11: George Augustus Selwyn; 19: Alphege; 23: George; 29: Catherine of Siena; 30: Abbots of ClunyMay: 3: Finding of the Cross; 4: Monica; 7: Stanislaus; 9: Gregory of Nazianzus; 20: Alcuin; 24: Vincent of Lerins ?
