Anglican new yr date
The Anglican Church, also known as the Anglican Communion, follows the traditional Julian calendar for calculating the date of Easter and other moveable feasts. This means that the date of New Year's Day (January 1) is not considered a significant date in the Anglican calendar.
However, the Anglican Church does observe several other dates that are significant in the Christian calendar:
- Epiphany (January 6): Celebrates the visit of the Magi to the baby Jesus.
- Ash Wednesday (variable date, typically in February or March): Marks the beginning of the season of Lent, a period of 40 days leading up to Easter.
- Easter Sunday (variable date, typically in March or April): Celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
- Ascension Day (variable date, typically in May): Commemorates the ascension of Jesus Christ into heaven.
- Pentecost (variable date, typically in May or June): Celebrates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles.
- Trinity Sunday (variable date, typically in May or June): Celebrates the doctrine of the Trinity.
- All Saints' Day (November 1): Honors all Christian saints and martyrs.
- Advent (four Sundays before Christmas): A period of preparation for the coming of Jesus Christ.
These dates are considered significant in the Anglican calendar, but the date of New Year's Day (January 1) is not a specifically Anglican holiday.
