Browsing by date type lets a visitor separate a holiday that suspended ordinary business from one that did not.FactsLearn MoreFixed date in its own calendarSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsOverviewWhat Defines This GroupingWell-attestedDays a tradition appoints for celebration, usually commemorating a person or an event and marked by a service and by eating rather than abstaining. The word is a Latin Christian liturgical term for a day of appointed rank in the calendar; extending it to the Islamic eid and to Baha'i holy days is a convenience of this classification, not a term those traditions use. 2DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedHolidays & Festivals 1Learn MoreThe feasts This group gathers feasts, the festal days of the religious calendar centred on celebration and, often, shared eating, commemorating a saint, an event of sacred history or a season of the year. In the Christian calendar especially, the feast is a central form of observance. The browser will find the feasts the atlas gathers. The entries describe each feast's occasion, customs and meaning, noting the tradition and the date on which it falls.Fixed date in its own calendarFilter Results26 entriesTraditionAllAfrican Methodist Episcopal Church (1)African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church (1)Amish (1)Anabaptism (1)Anglican Communion (3)Anglicanism (4)Armenian Apostolic Church (5)Assyrian Church of the East (1)Baptist (1)Calvinism (Reformed) (1)Christian Methodist Episcopal Church (1)Church of Cyprus (8)Church of England (7)Church of God (Anderson, Indiana) (1)Church of Greece (8)Church of Ireland (3)Church of Scotland (1)Church of Sweden (5)Church of the Nazarene (1)Coptic Orthodoxy (4)Disciples of Christ (1)Dutch Reformed Church (1)Eastern Orthodoxy (8)Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople (8)Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church (3)Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church (3)Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (7)Evangelicalism (1)Free Methodist Church (1)Georgian Orthodox Church (8)Global Methodist Church (2)Greek Orthodox Church (8)Latter-day Saints (Mormonism) (1)Lutheranism (7)Maronite Church (4)Mennonites (1)Methodism (2)Moravian Church (1)National Baptist Convention of America (1)Old Believers (8)Oriental Orthodoxy (6)Pentecostalism (1)Presbyterianism (1)Progressive National Baptist Convention (1)Protestantism (1)Roman Catholicism (18)Romanian Orthodox Church (8)Russian Orthodox Church (8)Serbian Orthodox Church (9)The Episcopal Church (4)The United Methodist Church (2)Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (8)Ukrainian Orthodox Church (8)Wesleyan Church (1)Calendar SystemAllBadi (Bahai) (1)Gregorian (civil solar) (19)Islamic Hijri (lunar) (2)Julian (Old Calendar) (5)Roman civil calendar (1)Observance TypeAllAlmsgiving / offering (2)Commemoration of a person or event (3)Fast / abstinence (1)Feast / celebration (18)Martyrdom remembered (1)Memorial of the dead (1)Nativity / birth remembered (2)Pilgrimage (4)Procession (1)Purification (2)Veneration of a deity or holy figure (10)MonthAllAugust (3)December (3)February (2)January (3)March (1)May (1)November (2)September (3)Origin EraAll200 (2)274 (1)335 (1)336 (1)384 (1)400 (1)450 (3)500 (2)624 (2)700 (2)731 (1)998 (1)1423 (1)1531 (1)1858 (1)1917 (1)HonoursAllSol Invictus (1)Place of OriginAllEthiopia (1)France (1)Italy (1)Mexico (1)Portugal (1)UNESCO StatusAllInscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (2)Status TodayAllLiving tradition, practised today (15)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 26All SaintsFixed date in its own calendarAll Souls' DayFixed date in its own calendarCandlemasFixed date in its own calendarChristmasFixed date in its own calendarDies Natalis Solis InvictiFixed date in its own calendarDormition of the TheotokosFixed date in its own calendarEid al-AdhaFixed date in its own calendarEid al-FitrFixed date in its own calendarEpiphanyFixed date in its own calendarExaltation of the Holy CrossFixed date in its own calendarFeast of the AssumptionFixed date in its own calendarFeast of the Immaculate ConceptionFixed date in its own calendarMichaelmasFixed date in its own calendarNativity of the Blessed Virgin MaryFixed date in its own calendarNineteen Day FeastFixed date in its own calendarOur Lady of FatimaFixed date in its own calendarOur Lady of GuadalupeFixed date in its own calendarOur Lady of LourdesFixed date in its own calendarOur Lady of Mount CarmelFixed date in its own calendarOur Lady of SorrowsFixed date in its own calendarSlavaFixed date in its own calendarThe AnnunciationFixed date in its own calendarThe Holy InnocentsFixed date in its own calendarThe TransfigurationFixed date in its own calendarTheophanyFixed date in its own calendarTimkatFixed date in its own calendarSources1.
