Catholic Word of the Day: OCTAVES, 04-12-09
CatholicReference.net ^ | 04-12-09 | Fr. John Hardon's Modern Catholic Dictionary

Featured Term (selected at random):

OCTAVES

The seven days following a feast with the feast day itself included. Prior to the Second Vatican Council octaves were numerous in the Latin Rite. A commemoration was offered at Mass and in the Divine Office each day of the octave, and precedence given over any other feast. The octaves now observed in the universal Church are those of Christmas and Easter.

Blue highlight is mine. For eight days, we, as Catholics, celebrate Easter. Is that good or what?

This is the last time I will ping my long list. (That’s why some of you have been getting two pings!)

If you want to be on the Catholic Word of the Day Ping List, please FReepmail me this next week.

Thank you to the five people who volunteered to help by posting on weekends. We are taking a consensus about whether Sunday is necessary.

Any thoughts out there?

This turned into something that all of you seem to want, so it will continue. Thank you for your support!
