2019 Epiphany Proclamation

Here is the Announcement of Easter and Movable Feasts, known more colloquially as the Epiphany Proclamation, for 2019:

This version is for places where the Ascension and Corpus Christi are transferred to Sunday. The opening phrase is given only as โ€œbrothers and sisters,โ€ which in the Missal is the option in parentheses after โ€œbrethren.โ€ And “Know” has been changed to “Know this,” lest it come across as “No, brothers and sisters!”

I suppose no one โ€œneedsโ€ this information in this form anymore โ€“ you can google on your phone and find the date of anything anywhere. But I think it is a good thing to be reminded, in the liturgy of Epiphany, how we Christians keep time and attempt to order our lives.

  1. What I like very much about it: The Exsultet-tone expresses that the entire course of time is blessed in the view of Easter.
