[blocks in formation]

Note, that every Double whatsoever is transferred, if it occur on the Vigil of Christmas or Whitsun Day, on the Circumcision, on the Octave of Epiphany, on Ash Wednesday, in Holy Week in the Octaves of Easter and Whitsuntide, on Ascension Day, Corpus Christi, or All Saints: on the chief Feast of S. John Baptist, and of S.S. Peter and Paul.

Within the Octave of Epiphany are kept only the Feast of the Patron, or Title of the Church, and its dedication, with commemoration of the Octave: other Feasts are transferred till after the Octave.

Commemoration is always made of the Octaves of the Nativity, Epiphany, and Corpus Christi, whatever Feast may occur on those days.

The day of the Octave is never transferred. If S. John Baptist's Day occur on the Feast of Corpus Christi, the former is transferred to the day following, but not so the Octave: which is merely commemorated in the Office of the Octave of Corpus Christi.

Festivals are said to concur when the first Vespers of a succeeding Feast fall on the same day as the second Vespers of a Feast preceding.

case the Office is to be of the Feast, and commemoration is to be made of the Octave.

On the second Vespers of the Octave-day of Epiphany, Easter, Ascension, and Corpus Christi, commemoration only is made of a following Double, except it be of the first or second class, or patron or title, or dedication of the Church: in which case the Office is to be of the Feast, and the commemoration of the Octave. And in like manner, if the second Vespers of the Octave-day of Corpus Christi concur with the Octave-day of S. John Baptist, the Vespers shall be of the Octave of Corpus Christi, with commemoration of the other Festival.

At second Vespers of Doubles of the second class, no commemoration is made of a day within an Octave, except when its Office is to be said on the following day. When many commemorations are to be made, this order shall be observed: Double, Sunday, Semi-double, day within Octave, greater Feria, Vigil, Simple.

N.B. The asterisk or colon in the Antiphons signifies the place of their division in semi-double Offices and those of still lower rank.
