Birgitta Noel Posted May 22, 2004 Author Share Posted May 22, 2004 Ok, if I had been reading my Magnificat faithfully I could have answered my own question. They have this statement which will hopefully clear up where it's been transferred and where it hasn't... [quote]Regarding the Ascension of the Lord, the ecclesiastical Provinces of Boston, Hartford, New York, Newark, Philadelphia, Washington, and the State of Nebraska have retained the celebration on the proper Thursday, while all other Provinces have transferred the solemnity to the Seventh Sunday of Easter, May 23......[/quote] So there you have it. As for the Bishops' reasonings for moving it, please don't let this thread turn into a place where we are criticizing our Bishops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_rev Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Ascension usually is put on to the sunday. I don't know why, but anyways, I was in the hospital, so God knows why I wasn't there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
