Notes on the Calendar.
The calendar given here has omitted fist entry m the Prayer Book which puzzles many people: December 16th O Sapientia. This was the date on which the first of the Special Advent Antiphons or "great O's" was sung. It has been kept" m the calendar presumably because the date was often! used for business appointments. A version of these anthems may be found m Hymns '.A'M f , No. 49. We cannot be certain that December 25th is the actual date of Our Lord's Nativity; Probably not, 'but it would be a most grievous loss not to observe it, and so all sensible ! people will. The three Holy Days that follow may well remind us of the three possible forms of martrydom— in will and deed, m will alone, and m deed alone.
