1928 Book of Common Prayer

Calendar, Holy Days, and Ecclesiastical Tables

Source texts for reading and study

The complete six-sheet source contains the calendar and the rules and tables for feasts, fasts, precedence, and finding Holy Days. These calendar and computation tables are distinct from the superseded original 1928 lesson tables. On a narrow screen, scroll the tables horizontally. Historical year tables are reproduced as source material; consult the Ordo Calendar for current dates.
