Feasts of Jesus Christ are specific days of the year distinguished in the liturgical calendar as being significant days for the celebration of events in the life of Jesus Christ and his veneration, for the commemoration of his relics, signs and miracles. While Easter is treated everywhere as the central religious feast in the Christian liturgical year, the other feasts are differed in the liturgical practice. == Feast days of Jesus in the Catholic Church == Since the Second Vatican Council, the Catholic liturgical calendar distinguishes four ranks of celebrations: solemnities, feasts, memorials, and optional memorials. Most of the celebrations of events in the life of Christ are ranked as solemnities. However, there are a few celebrations related to titles or mysteries of Christ which are ranked as feasts, and these are known collectively as "Feasts of the Lord." In the current General Calendar from the Third Edition of the Roman Missal, these are: * The Baptism of the Lord, celebrated on the Sunday after January 6 (or, where the Solemnity of the Epiphany is transferred to the Sunday that occurs on January 7 or 8, on the following Monday)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ewtn.com/library/CURIA/CDWLITYR.HTM )〕 * The Presentation of the Lord, celebrated on 2 February * The Transfiguration of the Lord, celebrated on 6 August * The Exaltation of the Holy Cross, celebrated on 14 September * The Dedication of the Lateran Basilica, celebrated on 9 November (this is a feast of the Lord because the basilica is dedicated to him under the title of the ''Most Holy Saviour''). In the pre-Vatican II usage, the term ''feast'' denoted any celebration, not just a specific rank. Hence, also celebrations which are today termed solemnities of the Lord (e.g. Christmas, Easter, Pentecost) were once deemed Feasts of the Lord. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Feasts of Jesus Christ」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
