and Orthodox traditions. Episcopalians believe in the communion of saints in prayer and as such the Episcopal liturgical calendar accommodates feasts for saints. This is the liturgical calendar found in the 1979 ''Book of Common Prayer'', ''Lesser Feasts and Fasts'' and additions made at recent General Conventions; the relevant official resources of the Episcopal Church.

About feasts, fasts, the Anglican Communion and the liturgical calendar

The Episcopal Church publishes ''Lesser Feasts and Fasts'', which contains feast days for the various men and women the Church wishes to honor. The 2018 version of Lesser Feasts and Fasts was formally approved at the 2022 General Convention. It and the prayer book are the only authorized calendars for the church. There is no single calendar for the various churches making up the

Calendars in different provinces will focus on figures more important to those different countries.

In this way the calendar of the Episcopal Church in the United States has importance beyond just the immediate purpose of supporting the

'' identifies four categories of feasts: Principal Feasts, other Feasts of our Lord (including Sundays), other Major Feasts, and minor feasts. Two major fast days are also listed ( Ash Wednesday and Good Friday). In addition to these categories, further distinctions are made between feasts, to determine the precedence of feasts used when more than one feast falls on the same day. In addition, ''Lesser Feasts and Fasts'' gives further rules for the relative ranking of feasts and fasts. These rules of precedence all establish a ranking, from most to least important, as follows: * Principal Feasts * The Feasts of the Holy Name, the Presentation, and Transfiguration * Sundays through the year * Ash Wednesday and Good Friday * Feasts of our Lord * Other Major Feasts * Weekdays of

Days of fasting and prayer

Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are appointed as major fast days with special services. "Days of special observance" or lesser fast days include all the weekdays of Lent and every Friday in the year, with the exception that fasting is never observed during the Easter or Christmas seasons, or on Feasts of our Lord. The Episcopal Church does not prescribe the specific manner of observance of these days. Other days for prayer and optional fasting include rogation days, traditionally observed on April 25 and the three weekdays before Ascension Day, as well as the sets of Ember days four times each year.

History of the Calendar

Early Calendars

When the Episcopal Church separated from the Church of England, it created a new version of the

. It listed only 25 holy days assigned to a specific date, nearly all of them honoring New Testament persons or events. This was similar to the 16th century prayer books and in contrast to England's prayer book in use at the time of the American Revolution. That prayer book had 93 holy dates, including the feast of

Charles I Charles I may refer to: Kings and emperors * Charlemagne (742–814), numbered Charles I in the lists of Holy Roman Emperors and French kings * Charles I of Anjou (1226–1285), also king of Albania, Jerusalem, Naples and Sicily * Charles I of ...

Restoration of Charles II The Restoration of the Stuart monarchy in the kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland took place in 1660 when King Charles II returned from exile in continental Europe. The preceding period of the Protectorate and the civil wars came t ...

. It added a feast to honor Civil and Religious Liberty on July 4. The calendar changed little in the 1892 revision of the ''Book of Common Prayer''. In the early 20th century, the Episcopal Church planned a revision to the book. The Commission of the Book of Common Prayer made official reports in 1916, 1919, and 1922 recommending the addition of 45 to 54 holy days. None of those were accepted, and the 1928 prayer book included none of the recommendations.

Lesser Feasts and Fasts

Starting in 1950, the Standing Liturgical Commission released sixteen Prayer Book Studies during the process of creating what eventually became the

Book of Common Prayer (1979) The 1979 ''Book of Common Prayer'' is the official primary liturgical book of the U.S.-based Episcopal Church. An edition in the same tradition as other versions of the ''Book of Common Prayer'' used by the churches within the Anglican Communi ...

. Two of those studies proposed new sanctoral calendars for the church. ''Prayer Book Study IX'' was published in 1957. It proposed more than 80 new feasts to the calendar, including new major feasts for the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, Saint Mary Magdalene and Holy Cross Day. Prayer Book Study XVI was published in 1964 as ''Lesser Feasts and Fasts''. It was the first publication to bear that name, and also marked the first time feasts were approved for "trial use." It included more than 25 feasts that were not part of the 1957 publication. A second edition of ''Lesser Feasts and Fasts'' was published in 1973, added more than a dozen additional feasts. It was also authorized for trial use. The first ''Lesser Feasts and Fasts'' calendar given finally approval was the 1980 edition. Its calendar was published in the Book of Common Prayer's list of optional observances. ''Lesser Feasts and Fasts'' was revised every three years when the General Convention met. Delegates to the convention submitted names to the calendar in the form of resolutions. The convention then voted to either reject a proposed feast, refer it to the Standing Commission on Liturgy to consider, add it to the calendar on a trial basis, or give it final approval. For example, the General Convention asked the committee to consider a feast for Hildegard of Bingen in 1991. It approved her feast on a trial basis in 1994 and gave it final approval in 1997.

21st Century Trial Calendars

In 2003, the Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music began extensive work on calendar revision. It was charged with increasing the cultural diversity of the church's calendar. At the time, women made up about 7% of commemorations and most dates honored white male clergy. In 2009, the General Convention authorized a new calendar for trial use, called ''Holy Women, Holy Men''. The book had more than 100 additional commemorations to honor a variety of historical persons such as poet Christina Rossetti, astronomer

Nicolaus Copernicus Nicolaus Copernicus (; pl, Mikołaj Kopernik; gml, Niklas Koppernigk, german: Nikolaus Kopernikus; 19 February 1473 – 24 May 1543) was a Renaissance polymath, active as a mathematician, astronomer, and Catholic canon, who formulat ...

, and the Dorchester Chaplains. It increased the percentage of women represented by only 9 percentage points and was less racially diverse than past calendars. ''Holy Women, Holy Men'' was approved with additions for three years of trial use again in 2012, with additions. It was never given final approval. In 2015, the commission submitted a new volume, ''A Great Cloud of Witnesses''. It was envisioned as a replacement for ''Holy Women, Holy Men'', and was introduced after study and collection opinion from Episcopalians online. The text of ''A Great Cloud of Witnesses'' stated that it was not intended to be a calendar of saints, but "an extended family history." The 2015 General Convention voted to make it available, but did not authorize it for trial use. In 2018, the commission released a report saying the calendar had been thrown into a "situation of great confusion." It proposed a new calendar that updated ''Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2006'', the last publication that had met with final authorization. It increased the percentages of women and laypersons to roughly 50%. The 2018 General Convention approved ''Lesser Feasts and Fasts'' for trial use.

2022 General Convention

The 2022 General Convention gave final authorization to the more than 90 feasts days that had been added as part of the ''Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018'' trial use calendar. This represented the largest number of additions to the calendar at a single general convention since 1979. The calendar in this Wikipedia article reflects those official additions. The general convention also authorized the trial deletion of
