Gentlemen, what about St. Patrick and the dedication of his cathedral? In addition, according to the saints' calendar upon Wikipedia, the Accession is a memorial instead of a solemnity.
- The solemnities of St. Patrick and his cathedral's dedication were apparently only regional. It would benefical to this article if dates of when the feast-days became solemnities for entire Church were mentioned. The Feast of Immaculate Conception was evelated to that status in 1708.--Anglius 20:07, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
Why is Corpus Christi dated on "Sunday after Holy Trinity"? Its article states "It occurs on the first Thursday following Trinity Sunday", which is the date I know as the official date. Some countries observe it on the next sunday. 83.236.10.146 19:48, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
I was told by an Eastern Catholic archpriest that only the Roman Church moves solomnities. Can anyone provide more detail about the rule concerning the moving of solmnities during Holy Week? FlyingOtter (talk) 06:58, 14 March 2008 (UTC) 06:58, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Etymology
All reputable sources I have checked (Oxford Dictionary of English Etymology and Oxford Latin Dictionary, inter alia) give the "sol-" element as deriving from a (probably Oscan) word "sollus" (whole, entire), not the unrelated "solet" as currently shown; and the derivation of the "-emn-" element from annus is also widely regarded as speculative.
