A standard liturgical calendar observing the pre-Vatican II type of the Roman Ceremony is sometimes called a 1962 calendar. This calendar is related to communities that commemorate the Tridentine Mass, the liturgical kind promulgated by Pope St. Pius V in 1570 and later revised by Pope John XXIII in 1962. An instance of its distinct options consists of the observance of older feast days and variations within the liturgical 12 months’s construction in comparison with the post-Vatican II calendar.
For adherents, this calendar represents a connection to historic liturgical apply and a perceived continuity with the Church’s traditions. It gives a framework for his or her non secular life, guiding prayer, devotional practices, and the celebration of sacred mysteries all year long. The calendar’s historic context is rooted in centuries of liturgical improvement, reflecting the theological and non secular heritage of the Roman Catholic Church.
