<p>new article</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>A '''fixed feast''' on the [[Church Calendar|liturgical calendar]] of the Orthodox Christian Church are those celebrations of holy days that are held on the same calendar date every year. These feasts are distinguished from [[moveable feast]]s, such as [[Pascha]] and feasts related to it, for which the calendar date varies from year to year.<br /> <br /> Fixed feasts are celebrated on the same date for both those who use the [[Julian Calendar|Julian (Old)]] and the [[Revised Julian Calendar|Revised Julian (New)]] calendars but chronologically are thirteen days apart during the twenty-first century. Whereas, movable feasts are celebrated on the two calendars on the same chronological day but on dates that are thirteen days apart.<br /> <br /> For certain fixed feasts, mainly those for [[saint]]s, that are celebrated during the week [[priest]]s have the prerogative of celebrating the feast during the following weekend. <br /> <br /> ==Source==<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Fixed_feast]]<br /> <br /> [[Category: Liturgics]]</div>
