Posted by Broadway Lion on Sat Dec 25 16:24:31 2004, in response to Re: Media Taking Christmas out of Christmas, posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Sat Dec 25 09:14:45 2004.  In the Catholic Calendar, January 1st is a hold Day of Obligation. The Feast of the Solemnity of Mary *is* a very recent addition to the Church Calendar. It was added to trump some of the rabid secularism that surrounds the New Year's Day celebration. To get people back into church instead of surrenduring them to some football game on TV. The former feast of the Circumcision was not a Holy Day of Obligation, the Solemnity of Mary is. |
