{{Short description|List of Catholic feast days as at the end of 1954}}
This article lists the feast days of the General Roman Calendar as they were at the end of 1954. It is essentially the same calendar established by [[Pope Pius X]] (1903–1914) following his liturgical reforms, but it also incorporates changes that were made by [[Pope Pius XI]] (1922–1939), such as the institution of the [[Feast of Christ the King]] (assigned to the last Sunday in October), and the changes made by [[Pope Pius XII]] (1939–1958) prior to 1955, chief among them the imposition of the Feast of the [[Immaculate Heart of Mary]] upon the universal Church (August 22, on the existing octave day of the [[Assumption of Mary|Assumption]]) in 1944, the inscription of Pius X into the General Calendar (September 3) following his 1954 canonization, and the institution of the Feast of the [[Queenship of Mary]] (May 31) in October 1954.

The changes that the latter Pope made in 1955 are indicated in [[General Roman Calendar of Pope Pius XII]]. They included: a revision of the Church's traditional [[Ranking of liturgical days in the Roman Rite|ranking of liturgical days]]; the institution of the feast of St. Joseph the Worker on May 1 as a Double of the I Class, requiring the transfer of Ss. Philip and James to May 11; the suppression of the Solemnity of Saint Joseph, which for just over a century had been celebrated on the second Wednesday after the [[Octave (liturgy)|Octave]] of Easter. A total of fifteen Octaves—all those except Easter, Pentecost, and Christmas—were also suppressed in the reform of 1955, as were most vigils (specifically, the vigils of all apostles save for that of Ss. Peter and Paul, and the vigils of the Immaculate Conception, Epiphany, and All Saints).

Five years later, [[Pope John XXIII]] made a further revision with the ''[[motu proprio]]'' ''Rubricarum instructum''<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ecclesiacatholica.com/missale%20romanum/motu%20proprio%20rubricarum%20instructum.htm |title = EcclesiaCatholicA.com}}</ref> of July 23, 1960. This revision, the [[General Roman Calendar of 1960]], was incorporated in the [[Roman Missal]] of 1962,<ref>pages XLV–LIII of the reproduction on [http://www.musicasacra.com/pdf/missale62.pdf this Internet site]</ref> which was issued as implementation of this ''motu proprio''<ref>Decree placed at the beginning of the 1962 Missal</ref> The 1960 calendar is thus the calendar approved by [[Pope Benedict XVI]] with his July 7, 2007 document ''[[Summorum Pontificum]]'' for use as an extraordinary form of the [[Roman Rite]].

The General Roman Calendar was again revised in 1969, in connection with the revision of the [[Roman Missal]], and later. For its current state, see [[General Roman Calendar]].

For most of the celebrations here listed, the Mass is found in the Roman Missal of the time in the section called the "Proper of the Saints", but for those occurring from 24 December to 13 January it is found in the "Proper of the Season", as these days do not move with respect to the seasons of the Church year. The Offices of these feasts are likewise arranged in the Breviary.

While the General Calendar of 1954 is generally not authorized for liturgical use by traditional groups in communion with the Holy See, some [[Sedevacantism|sedevacantists]]<ref>[https://traditionalmass.org/articles/article.php?id=36&catname=6 Pre-Vatican II Liturgical Changes : Road to the New Mass] by Most Rev. Daniel L. Dolan, The Roman Catholic, June 1983</ref><ref>[https://traditionalmass.org/articles/article.php?id=37&catname=6 Liturgical Revolution] by Rev. Francesco Ricossa, The Roman Catholic, February–April 1987</ref><ref>[https://traditionalmass.org/images/articles/P12RejectIllegal.pdf Is Rejecting the Pius XII Liturgical Reforms Illegal?] by Rev.

Anthony Cekada, 10 July 2006</ref> continue to use it, as well as Old Roman Catholics, as their members consider it to be the last calendar untainted by the revisions that began in 1955. Indults have been granted, however, to certain communities in full communion with Rome, such as some apostolates of the [[Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest]] and the [[Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter]].

==Rank of feast days==
The ranking of feast days that had grown from an original division between doubles and simples<ref name=CathEnc>[http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03158a.htm Catholic Encyclopedia, s.v. ''Christian Calendar'']</ref> and that by the time of the [[Tridentine calendar]] included semidoubles, with [[Pope Clement VIII]] adding in 1604 to the distinction between first and second class doubles the new rank of greater double, was in until 1955, when [[Pope Pius XII]] abolished the rank of semidouble.

The rank of feast days determines which Mass is said when two feast days occur on the one day, as well as when a feast day falls on Sundays or certain other privileged days. Feast days were classified as Simple, Semidouble, or Double, with feast days of the Double Rite further divided into ''Double of the I Class'', ''Double of the II Class'', ''Greater Double'' or ''Major Double'', and ''Double'', in order of descending rank. On ferias and many feast days of simple rank, the celebrant was permitted to substitute a Mass of his own choice such as a votive Mass, or a Mass for the Dead.

What the original meaning of the term "double" may have been is not entirely certain. Some think that the greater festivals were thus styled because the antiphons before and after the psalms were "doubled", i.e. twice repeated entire on these days. Others, with more probability, point to the fact that before the ninth century in certain places, for example at Rome, it was customary on the greater feast days to recite two sets of Matins, the one of the feria or week-day, the other of the festival. Hence such days were known as "doubles".<ref name=CathEnc/>

The Catholic Encyclopedia of the early years of the twentieth century shows the incremental crowding of the calendar (which had increased further by 1954) in the following table based on the official revisions of the [[Roman Breviary]] in 1568,<ref>For more information on this calendar of [[Pope Pius V]], see [[Tridentine calendar]].</ref> 1602, 1631, 1882 and on the situation in 1907.

In 1907, when, in accordance with the rules in force since the time of [[Pope Pius V]], feast days of any form of double, if impeded by falling on the same day<ref>[http://home.newadvent.org/cathen/11200a.htm Catholic Encyclopedia, s.v. Occurrence (in liturgy)]</ref> with a feast day of higher class, were transferred to another day, this classification of feast days was of great practical importance for deciding which feast day to celebrate on any particular day. [[Pope Pius X]] simplified matters considerably in his 1911 [[Reform of the Roman Breviary by Pope Pius X|reform of the Roman Breviary]]. In the case of occurrence the lower-ranking feast day could become a [[Commemoration (liturgy)|commemoration]] within the celebration of the higher-ranking one. Further retouches were made by [[Pope Pius XII]] in 1955,<ref>[[General Roman Calendar of Pope Pius XII]]</ref> [[Pope John XXIII]] in 1960,<ref>[[General Roman Calendar of 1960]]</ref> and [[Pope Paul VI]] in 1969.<ref>[[General Roman Calendar]]</ref>

===Sundays===
Sundays were divided into greater and lesser Sundays, with the greater Sundays being further divided into two classes. The Greater Sundays of the I class were the I Sunday of Advent, the four Sundays of Lent, Passion Sunday, Palm Sunday, Easter Sunday, Low Sunday, and Pentecost. No feast day whatsoever could be celebrated on these days, although they admitted commemorations except on Easter and Pentecost. Greater Sundays of the II class permitted the celebration of Doubles of the I Class only, and consisted of the other three Sundays in Advent and the three pre-Lenten Sundays. All other Sundays (II to V after Easter and the Sundays after Epiphany and Pentecost, except for those that might occur during an Octave, which followed the rules for the Octave), were lesser Sundays or Sundays ''per annum'' ("through the year"), and only the celebration of Doubles of the I or II Class, or a feast of the Lord, took precedence over them. The Sunday within the Octave of the Nativity was a special case, due to the fixed date of [[Christmas]] and the high rank of the feast days following it. If December 29, 30, or 31 were a Sunday, the Mass assigned to it was celebrated on that day; otherwise, it was celebrated on December 30.

Before the reform of Pope Pius X in 1911, ordinary Doubles took precedence over most of the Semidouble Sundays, resulting in many of the Sunday Masses rarely being said. While retaining the Semidouble rite for Sundays, the reform permitted only the most important feast days, Doubles of the I or II class, to be celebrated on Sunday. When a feast of the rank of double of the I or II class fell on a Sunday, the Mass would be that of the feast, with a commemoration of the occurring Sunday; the Gospel of the omitted Sunday Mass would be read at the end of Mass instead of the usual Gospel "In principio erat Verbum" of St. John. When a feast of a rank lower than that occurred with a Sunday, the feast would be commemorated in the Sunday Mass by including a commemoration of the feast, and its Gospel would be read at the end of Mass, provided it was a "proper" Gospel, i.e. one not taken from the Common.<ref>''Additiones et Variationes in Rubricis Missalis, IX, 3.</ref>

Following the reform of Pope Pius X, only three feasts were assigned to a Sunday: the feast days of the Holy Name, the Holy Family, and the Most Holy Trinity. A fourth, [[Christ the King]], was added in 1925.

===Ferias===
Ferias also were classified into three categories:

* Greater privileged ferias: Ash Wednesday and Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of Holy Week. No feast day could be celebrated on these days.
* Greater non-privileged ferias: The ferias of Advent, Lent, and Passion Week, Rogation Monday, and the [[Ember Days]]. Any feast day except a Simple could occur on these days, with a commemoration of the feria.
* On all other ferias, any feast day of whatever rank could be celebrated without any commemoration of the feria.

Ember Days are four separate sets of three days within the same week — specifically, the Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday — roughly equidistant in the circuit of the year, that were formerly set aside for fasting and prayer. These days set apart for special prayer and fasting were considered especially suitable for the ordination of clergy. The Ember Days are known in Latin as ''quatuor tempora'' (the "four seasons"), or ''jejunia quatuor temporum'' ("fasts of the four seasons"). They occur in the weeks between the third and fourth Sundays of Advent, between the first and second Sundays of Lent, between Pentecost and Trinity Sunday, and beginning the first Wednesday after the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (September 14), which is between the liturgical third and fourth Sundays of September.<ref>The rubrics of the Breviary defined the liturgical first Sunday of August, September, October and November, which primarily determined which books of Scripture were read during that week at Matins, as the Sunday closest to the first day of the month, in this manner: "That which is called the I Sunday of the month, is that which is on the [[Kalends]], or nearest the Kalends of that month: so that, if the Kalends be Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, then the I Sunday of the month, on which the book of Scripture to be begun is placed, is that which precedes the Kalends. But if Thursday or Friday, or Saturday, it is that which follows." The first Sunday of September, therefore, could fall between 29 August and 4 September. The 1960 reforms changed this to the actual first Sunday of the month, which also adjusted the possible dates of the September Ember Days.</ref>

Rogation Days are, in the calendar of the Western Church, four days traditionally set apart for solemn processions to invoke God's mercy. They are April 25, the Major Rogation (or Greater Litanies), coinciding with St. Mark's Day (but transferred to the following Tuesday if they fell on Easter); and the three days preceding Ascension Thursday, the Minor Rogations (or Lesser Litanies). These are indicated below in the main body of the calendar and in the Movable Feasts section.

===Vigils===
In the [[Tridentine calendar]] the vigils of Christmas, the Epiphany, and Pentecost were called "major vigils"; the rest were "minor" or "common" vigils<ref name=CE:Vigil>[http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05647a.htm Catholic Encyclopedia: Eve of a Feast]</ref> In early times, every feast day had a vigil, but the increase in the number of feast days and abuses connected with the evening and night service of which the vigils originally consisted, led to their diminishment. Nevertheless, the [[Roman Rite]] kept many more vigils than other [[Latin liturgical rites]] such as the [[Ambrosian Rite]] and the [[Mozarabic Rite]]. If a Vigil fell on a Sunday, it was transferred to the previous Saturday,<ref name=CE:Vigil/> although the Vigil of Christmas took precedence over the IV Sunday of Advent.

Prior to the suppression of some vigils by [[Pope Pius XII]] in 1955, there were three classes of Vigils. The Vigils of Christmas and Pentecost were of the I class, and took precedence over any feast day. The Vigil of Epiphany was of the II class, and permitted only Doubles of the I or II classes, or any feast of the Lord. All other vigils were "common" and took precedence only over ferias and Simple feast days, but were anticipated on Saturday if they fell on Sunday. Most feasts of the [[Twelve Apostles|Apostles]] had Vigils; the exceptions being those that fell in Eastertide, when Vigils were not permitted. The Vigil of St. Matthias was unique, in that it was normally commemorated on February 23, the feast day of St. Peter Damian, but in leap year, was kept on February 24, the traditional leap day of the [[Julian calendar#Julian reform|Roman calendar]].

===Octaves===
The [[Tridentine calendar]] had many octaves, without any indication in the calendar itself of distinction of rank between them, apart from the fact that the Octave Day (the final day of the octave) was ranked higher than the days within the octave. Several octaves overlapped, so that, for instance, on 29 December the prayer of the saint of the day, Saint [[Thomas Becket]], was followed by the prayers of [[Christmas]], of [[Saint Stephen]], of Saint [[John the Evangelist]] and of the [[Holy Innocents]]. The situation remained such until the reform of [[Pope Pius X]].<ref>See, for instance, [https://books.google.com/books?id=E7sPAAAAIAAJ&dq=missale+romanum&pg=PP3 ''Missale Romanum'', published by Pustet in 1862]</ref>

To cut down on the monotony of repeating the same prayers in Mass and Office every day for eight days, Pope Pius X classified the octaves as "privileged", "common" or "simple"

The privileged octaves were of three "ranks".<ref>"Ordo" in Latin, not "classis" (class), the word used for feast days, the word that was also used in Pope John XXIII's revision of the rubrics for all kinds of liturgical days.</ref> The first rank belonged to the octaves of Easter and Pentecost (no feast day could be celebrated in these octaves or even, until Vespers on Tuesday, be commemorated), the second to those of Epiphany and Corpus Christi (the Octave Day ranked as a Greater Double, the days within the octave as Semidoubles, giving way only to Doubles of the I Class, and on the Octave day itself only to a Double of the I class that was celebrated in the entire Church), the third rank to those of Christmas, the Ascension, and the Sacred Heart (these gave way to any feast day above the level of Simple).

The common octaves were those of the Immaculate Conception, the Assumption, the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist, the Solemnity of Saint Joseph, Saints Peter and Paul, and All Saints, as well as, locally, the principal patron saint of a church, cathedral, order, town, diocese, province, or nation. These too gave way to any feast day above the level of Simple; the difference between these and the third privileged rank was that ferial psalms were said during common octaves, while the psalms from the feast day were used during privileged octaves.

The simple octaves were those of [[Saint Stephen]], Saint [[John the Evangelist]], the [[Holy Innocents]], Saint Lawrence, the Nativity of Mary and, locally, secondary patrons. These were all Doubles of the II class, their Octave day was a Simple and, in contrast to the situation before Pope Pius X, their Mass was not repeated nor a Commemoration made, except on the Octave day, as simple Octaves had no days within the Octave.

In Pope Pius XII's reform, only the octaves of Christmas, Easter and Pentecost were kept.<ref>De rubricis, 11</ref> The days within the Easter and Pentecost octaves were raised to double rite, had precedence over all feast days, and did not admit commemorations.<ref>De rubricis, 12</ref>

==Moveable feasts==
The moveable feasts are those connected with the Easter cycle, and Easter is the date relative to which their position is ultimately determined. The date of Easter is determined relative to the lunar calendar as used by the Hebrews. The rule has since the Middle Ages been phrased as "Easter is observed on the Sunday after the first full moon on or after the day of the vernal equinox." However, this does not reflect the actual ecclesiastical rules precisely. One reason for this is that the full moon involved (called the Paschal full moon) is not an astronomical full moon, but an ecclesiastical moon. Another difference is that the astronomical vernal equinox is a natural astronomical phenomenon, which can fall on 20 or 21 March, while the ecclesiastical vernal equinox is a fixed March 21 (on the Gregorian calendar). Easter is determined from tables which determine Easter based on the ecclesiastical rules described above, which do not always coincide with the astronomical full moon. The moveable feasts are given below:

Septuagesima Sunday (9th Sunday before Easter)<br>
Sexagesima Sunday (8th Sunday before Easter)<br>
Quinquagesima Sunday (7th Sunday before Easter)<br>
Ash Wednesday (Wednesday after Quinquagesima Sunday)<br>
Passion Sunday (Sunday 2 weeks before Easter)<br>
Feast of the Seven Sorrows of the Virgin Mary (Friday after 2nd Sunday before Easter)<br>

The Octave of St. Joseph, spouse of the Virgin Mary, confessor and patron of the Universal Church (Wednesday after the 3rd Sunday after Easter)<br>
The Lesser Litanies at St. Mary Major (Monday after the 5th Sunday after Easter)<br>
