  • Autumn Ember Days
    1 This commentary on the Liturgical Year is a compilation with modifications of a series of notes prepared for the Parish Bulletin of the Church of Saint John the Evangelist in 1988-1989. It is meant to give a historical perspective to the Church Year as it is celebrated in our parish, according to the traditional Calendar of the Anglican Church of Canada. The parish is an Anglo-Catholic congregation that follows the Tractarian and Ritualistic traditions of the Church of England inspired by the Oxford Movement. Our liturgy is based on the 1959 Canadian Book of Common Prayer. The antiphons at high mass are taken from the Sarum Missal, the use of Salisbury Cathedral in the 15th century, a fine example of the Anglo- Norman Rite. The Early Church celebrated only Easter and, perhaps, also Pentecost, but soon hallowed all Sundays as feasts of the Resurrection. The Church Year as we know it began to develop when the Church emerged from the period of persecutions in the early 4th century. It became customary for Christians in Jerusalem to visit the sites of the mysteries of Our Lord's life and death at various periods of the year for memorial services. The custom was copied in Rome where the different basilicas and churches symbolically represented the various sites in the Holy Land and became stations for the feasts associated with these sites. From Rome, the practice spread to all Western churches. The Liturgical Year developed around two major feasts. The Easter (Atonement) Cycle based on a lunar calendar centres around the variable date of Easter.

To help distinguish one Alí from another, they used a system of honorifics added to the names. Family names eventually came into widespread use, but many of these honorifics can still be added to a person's name. Once they came into use, family names were frequently formed from place names. This was often done by adding an "í" to the end of the name of the town or region where the family lived. For example, a family from the city of Shiráz might have adopted a family name of Shirází.

It commemorates the finding of the Holy Cross by St Helena, the dedication of churches built by Constantine, and the restoration of the True Cross to Jerusalem. Discovery of the Cross: Tradition holds that, in around AD326, St Helena, the Roman Emperor Constantine's mother and convert to Christianity, pilgrimaged to the Holy Land to locate where the important events in the life of Jesus occurred, and to preserve any remaining Christian relics, particularly the Cross on which Jesus was crucified. Assisted by the Bishop of Caesarea, Eusebius (early church historian) and Bishop of Jerusalem, St Macarius, she discovered the spot and found the True Cross.

  • Feast of the Cross
    Feast of the Cross by order of Helena and Constantine. The church was ded- icated nine years later, with a portion of the cross[note 1] placed inside it. Other legends explain that in 614, that portion of the cross was carried away from the church by the Persians, and remained missing until it was recap- tured by the Byzantine Emperor Heraclius in 628. Ini- tially taken to Constantinople, the cross was returned to the church the following year. The date of the feast marks the dedication of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in 335.[3] This was a two-day fes- tival: although the actual consecration of the church was on September 13, the cross itself was brought outside the church on September 14 so that the clergy and faithful could pray before the True Cross, and all could come for- ward to venerate it. 1.1 Western practices In Roman Catholic liturgical observance, red vestments are worn at church services conducted on this day, and Russian icon of Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross (icon from [note 2] Yaroslavl by Gury Nikitin, 1680. Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow). if the day falls on a Sunday, its Mass readings are used instead of that for the occurring Sunday in Ordinary Time. The lectionary of the Church of England (and In the Christian liturgical calendar, there are several dif- other Anglican churches) also stipulates red as the litur- ferent Feasts of the Cross, all of which commemorate gical colour for 'Holy Cross Day'.[4] the cross used in the crucifixion of Jesus.
