  • The Mass As the Liturgical Calendar and Computus
    Min-Ad: Israel Studies in Musicology Online, Vol. 13, 2015-16 Irène Guletsky - The Mass as the Liturgical Calendar and Computus The Mass as the Liturgical Calendar and Computus IRÈNE GULETSKY During the second half of the 1990s, I had the good fortune to work on my doctoral thesis at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem under the supervision of two amazing scholars, professors Judith Cohen and Dalia Cohen (of blessed memory).1 I remember with pleasure this time spent in intensely creative work, our meetings, fascinating discussions, and occasional heated debates on various issues to do with the philosophical and theoretical views of the Renaissance, the form of the Mass and methods of its analysis. Our opinions did not always coincide—a consequence of different schools and scientific traditions. Judith was a disciple of Kurt von Fischer, and she, like her mentor, regarded the Mass primarily from the standpoint of the embodiment of the original source and the features of the counterpoint (a completely justified view).2 This strictly academic approach favored by Judith, accounted for her rather cautious, even skeptical attitude to my ideas of analyzing the cycle form as a kind of structure and a crystal, which characterize this genre as a whole. Admittedly, Judith had sufficiently valid reasons for being skeptical. After all, it is a known fact that the Mass—the five-part Ordinary—was not performed as a single separate composition, but had been distributed through the liturgy, and thus, as many scholars would have it, could hardly be defined as a form.3 Judith would bring the flight of my ideas firmly back to earth, dampening my fervor by demanding proof for every assertion, making me perform meticulous work on the text and bibliography.

  • Lent and Easter Season
    LENT/EASTER SEASON February 22, 2015 WHAT’S THIS? At its root, Lent is a name for Spring, and is a 40-day period of preparation for Easter Sunday and one of the major liturgical seasons of the Catholic Church. A penitential season marked by prayer, fasting and abstinence, and almsgiving, Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday. The color of Lent is purple; The six Sundays in Lent are not part of the Lenten fast, and thus we say there are 40 days of Lent – a biblical number – while there are really 46; The Stations of the Cross are a devotion imitating a pilgrimage with Jesus to commemorate 14 key events around the crucifixion; Because of the solemnity of Lent, the Gloria and Alleluia are not said or sung. March 1, 2015 WHAT’S THIS? During Lent the Church is called to embrace a spirit of repentance and metanoia (“a change of heart”) or conversion. There are many opportunities for prayer – communally or individually – such as: Daily Mass (communal) Stations of the Cross (communal and individual) The Rosary (communal and individual) Liturgy of the Hours (individual) Reconciliation (communal and individual) Adoration of the Eucharist in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel every Friday (individual) Free web Lent program offered by Dynamic Catholic—sign up at BestLentEver.com. March 8, 2015 WHAT’S THIS? The next four weeks of “What’s This” will be highlighting specific components that lead up through the Easter Vigil. Palm Sunday – March 29: The liturgical color of Palm Sunday is red. Red signifies Christ’s Passion; The Palm Sunday liturgy begins with an additional Gospel highlighting the jubilant entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem; The palms are ancient symbols of victory and hope, as well as new life; The Palm Sunday liturgy takes on a more somber tone with the second Gospel reading of Christ’s Passion; The blessed palms received this day should be discarded as other blessed articles.

  • Pastor's April 2015 Message
    The Customs of Lent and Easter For many people today, it is still their custom to think about “giving up” something for Lent. This may be certain foods or some kind of indulgence, i.e. chocolate, that is abstained from during Lent. But more and more, Lent ought to be thought of a time of “taking up” something. If people want to discipline themselves and make sacrifices for the right reasons, that is good indeed. If it is our response to God’s goodness and flows naturally from the Gospel, then it is even better. So rather than “give up” something for Lent, maybe “take up” something that will connect you to your Savior and help you grow in faith would be even better. Lent’s challenge is to “take up” our cross daily and to follow Jesus. Maybe “take up” committing to memory the explanation to the second article of the Apostle’s Creed, to identify with the suffering and death and resurrection of our Savior for us. The word “Lent” comes from an old Anglo‐Saxon word, “Lencten.” It refers to the lengthening of days in the spring in the northern hemisphere. Similarly, the word “Easter” had no Christian significance at first, being derived from the name of the pagan goddess of spring, Eostre. However, the Church was always willing to “baptize” pagan names and customs and put them to work for Jesus Christ. Lent is meant to be a time of hope, knowing of the great gift of Salvation through Jesus Christ has indeed been won for us.

    CHAPTER 11 NOTES ON SEASONS AND FEASTS Nota bene: This chapter takes note of variations between the Sacramentary now in use and the Roman Missal of 2003 and its English translation currently in preparation by the USCCB and the Holy See. These books are identified, respectively, by these titles throughout the text of these Norms. A. INTRODUCTION 11.1.1 In the liturgical year the various aspects of the one Paschal Mystery unfold. This is also the case with the cycle of feasts surrounding the mystery of the incarnation (Annunciation, Christmas, Epiphany). They commemorate the beginning of our salvation and communicate to us the first fruits of the Paschal Mystery.1220 11.1.2. The celebration of the seasons and feasts of the liturgical year is a primary means for gaining an understanding of the mystery of Christ, for the liturgical year “unfolds the entire mystery” and “completes the formation of the faithful.”1221 B. ADVENT AND CHRISTMAS General 11.2.1 The season of Advent, the preparation for the commemoration of Christ’s birth and first manifestations, has a twofold character: it is a time to prepare for Christmas, when Christ’s First Coming is remembered; it is a time when that remembrance directs the mind and heart to await Christ’s Second Coming in the last days. In this way Advent is a period of devout and joyful expectation.1222 1220 CCC 1171. See also ADW, Liturgical Norms and Policies, 2010, 13.12.1. 1221 Cf.

  • The Mathematics of Easter
    The Mathematics of Easter Richard L. Francis, Southeast Missouri State University <[email protected]> Richard received a B.S. degree from Southeast Missouri State University and master's and doctoral degrees from the University of Missouri (Columbia). Major scholarly interests include number theory and the history of mathematics. Previous articles in these areas of interest have appeared in the publications of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, the American Mathematical Society, Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications, and the Mathematical Association of America (from which he received the George Polya Award). He, his wife Joyce, and three children, Richard Lee, Marie, and Michael, reside in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. appears in the most unexpected places. Note for example the curious concerns of Sunday afternoon strollers as to whether or not the seven bridges of Königsberg could be traversed in a single trip without crossing any bridge more than once. Note also the consequential Königsberg Bridge Problem as pursued by Euler and the early traces of network theory. And then there is the casual coloring of a map of England and the ultimate formulating of the Four-Color Map Conjecture, a highly challenging topological problem resolved only in the late twentieth century. The calendar likewise shares in this phenomenon of the emergence of enormously difficult mathematical questions but in an unexpected manner. According to the Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325, the Easter date was fixed as the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the vernal equinox. Such a rule contained within it all the potential for a mathematical problem of considerable dimension, all the more so as the projection of Easter dates into the distant future is considered.

  • The Calendar of the Christian Year an Introduction
    The Calendar of the Christian Year An Introduction The Christian Year is comprised of two cycles of holy days. The first is the Paschal Cycle, which follows the lunar calendar and identifies the first Sunday after the full moon that falls on or after March 21 as Easter Day. (Easter Day cannot occur before March 22 or after April 25.) The season of Lent precedes Eastertide and the Season after Pentecost follows it. The second cycle, the Incarnation Cycle, follows the solar calendar and places our Lord’s birth on December 25 (Christmas Day) with the season of Advent preceding it. The season of Epiphany follows the twelve days of the Christmas season (Christmastide.) Sundays The sequence of the Sundays of the Calendar depends on the date of Easter, because every Sunday is a celebration of our Lord’s resurrection from the dead. Nevertheless, Sundays also reflect the character of the seasons in which they are set. Following ancient Jewish tradition, the celebration of any Sunday begins at sundown on the Saturday that precedes it. Therefore at Evening Prayer on Saturdays (other than Holy Days), the Collect appointed for the ensuing Sunday is used. Principal Feasts Easter Day Christmas Day December 25 Ascension Day The Epiphany January 6 Day of Pentecost All Saints’ Day November 1 Trinity Sunday These feasts take precedence over any other day or observance. All Saints’ Day may also be observed on the Sunday following November 1, in addition to its observance on the fixed date. Holy Days The Holy Days, traditionally called Red-Letter Days, observed

  • What Is Orthodox Easter?
    St. Xenia of Rome Independent Catholic Orthodox Mission What is Orthodox Easter? Orthodox Easter, also called Pascha and Resurrection Sunday, is the oldest and most important festival in the Eastern Christian tradition, celebrating Jesus Christ's resurrection (rising from the grave) following his crucifixion and death. His resurrection forms the basis of Christian faith as it demonstrates Jesus to be the Son of God, and symbolizes his conquest of death. Orthodox Easter celebration in Cyprus In most years its date differs from the date of Easter in Western Christianity (catholic and protestant Easter), and is usually one week, but occasionally four or five weeks, later. However, in some years Orthodox Easter coincides with Western Easter and both observances fall on the same date. In Western Christianity, the date of Easter is based on the Gregorian calendar and can fall between March 22 and April 25. The Eastern Christian tradition bases its calculations of Orthodox Easter on the Julian calendar, which differs from the Gregorian calendar by 13 days. This results in a possible date range of April 4 to May 8. However, both Western and Eastern churches agree that Easter should be celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring Equinox, but always after Passover. Occasionally initiatives are started to introduce a fixed and unified date of Easter (probably the second or third Sunday in April), however there are currently no concrete plans to do so. The following WikipediA pages explain the list of dates for Easter for both Western and Easter church traditions for the years 2000 to 2040: 1 List of dates for Easter This is a list of dates for Easter.
