f St. Barnabas' Day.
St. Barnabas' Day, the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, St.
Peter's Day, St. James' Day, St. Bartholomew's Day, St. Matthew's
Day, St. Michael and All Angels' Day, St. Luke's Day, SS. Simon
and Jude's Day, All Saints' Day, take precedence of all Sundays
after Trinity.
The Feasts of the Dedication and Title of a Church rank as
principal festivals; but may not be observed on Advent Sunday,
Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Epiphany, between the Fifth Sunday
in Lent and Low Sunday inclusive, Ascension Day, or from Whitsun
Eve to Trinity Sunday inclusive.
Octaves are not mentioned by name in the Prayer-Book, but are
implied in the rubrics preceding the Proper Prefaces of the
Communion Office. It has been suggested by the Convocation of
Canterbury that the Collects for St. Michael's and All Saints'
Days should be repeated on the seven days following those days
respectively. Such additions would be in the nature of new Octaves.
But the first of these days had no Octave in the Sarum or the Roman
Use: the second has an Octave in the Roman Use, but had none in the
Sarum Use. If any such additional Octaves are introduced, the
Festival of the Epiphany at least should have this distinction.
A general permission might also be given to individual churches
to keep the Octaves of their title or dedication.
