Celtic Orthodox Liturgical Calendar and Saints

PRESENTATION
SUNDAY OF NOVEMBER ACCORDING TO THE SYRIAN

TRADITION, A CUSTOM CLOSE TO THE WESTERN TRADITION. It includes the whole of the
feasts and biblical readings of the liturgical cycle. It also presents the saints of the
universal Church as well as the principal saints who have illuminated the history of the
Celtic Orthodox Church. It allows for the free choice of each parish to celebrate its local
saints.
HIS CALENDAR BEGINS ON THE FIRST
This calendar does not propose to serve as an exhaustive list of all our saints, as they are too numerous
to all appear here.
The Sunday and Feast-day readings are based upon the non-Roman Western type of Lectionaries-that
is, for the most part upon the Mozarabic Lectionary and certain contributions from the Luxeuil or
Bobbio Lectionary. While studying these different Lectionaries we noticed that many of the readings
were identical.
The ancient Lectionaries did not include readings for the days of the week, since no Eucharistic
celebrations were held other than on Sunday, with the exception of the period of Lent in the Mozarabic
Lectionary. They included a fixed cycle for the period extending from Advent to Christmas, and for the
Sundays after the Theophany until the first Sunday of Lent. For all the Sundays outside of Lent and the
Paschal season, the cycle resumed after Pentecost until the first Sunday of Advent.
The ancient Western tradition of the Eucharistic Liturgy comprised three readings: from the Old
Testament, the Pauling or Catholic Epistles, and the Gospel. For the weekday readings we have drawn
from the biblical books of the Western and Eastern tradition.
As the specialist of the Mozarabic Calendar, Dom Jordi Pinel, explains: There is no structure in the
readings from what is called the daily time: For the Sundays outside of Advent, Lent, and the
Eastertide, the offices and Sunday masses composed what is called the de quotidiano. For the most
part they were considered as independent celebrations and did not form a cycle properly speaking. We
noticed that there were great similarities in the cycle of the periscopes of the Gospels and Epistles of
the so-called quotidiano Sundays in the in the Mozarabic and ancient Milanese tradition. We therefore
chosen from the Sundays after Pentecost in these two cycles, though they had no logical sequence
between them.

The Prayer of Saint Ephrem (recited kneeling down)
O Lord and Master of my life,
take from me the spirit of sloth,
faint-heartedness, lust of power, and idle talk.
But give rather the spirit of chastity
humility, patience and love to Your servant.

Yes, O Lord and King,
grant that I may see my own errors
and not to judge my brother,
O You who are blessed unto the Age of ages,
Amen.
(Performing a Metany each time we repeat 3 times:)
O God, purify me a sinner!

HOW TO USE THIS CALENDAR:
Reading of Biblical References:

For example:
2Co 3:4-15, 18; 4:1; 6:13-15a
2Co: refer to the Biblical abbreviations on page 11;
The first number: the chapter;
The following numbers: the verses;
A dash between 2 Arabic numerals (4-15) means that verse 4 is read to verse 15 inclusively;
A comma (15,18) means that we read verse 15 and then skip to verse 18;
A semicolon means a change of chapter;
[a] means the first part of the verse; [b] the second.

For the example above we read:
2nd Epistle to Corinthians, chapter 3, verse 4 to verse 15 inclusively; then verse 18 to Chapter 4,
verse 1; then to chapter 6, verse 13 until the first part of verse 15 inclusively.

Psalms:
We remind you that the Psalms in this calendar are numbered according to the Septuagintthat
is, the Greek translation of the Old Testament.
