The Liturgical Calendar of the Celtic Catholic Church: Saints and Seasons
The ecclesiastical calendar is made up of fixed days (those which occur on a particular date, generally saints' days) and movable days, those which
ultimately depend on the date of Easter Sunday. Below, you will find links to
the twelve months of the short calendar of saints. This short calendar shows
only those celebrations which rank as Holy Days, Feasts, or Memorials. There
are hundreds more which rank as Commemorations; they are found in the full
Felir.
Even though abbreviated, this calendar is still quite long, so it is broken up by
month. Further down on this page, you can see the seasons and movable feasts.
