Talk:Nativity Fast

'as with all the fasts'
which Great Feast falls during the Fast of the Apostles?--Richardson mcphillips (talk) 02:32, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Birth of St. John, which seems to be (like the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul itself, or All Saints on the Octave-Day of Pentecost, or some patronage feasts) a quasi-Great-Feast even though not appearing on the list of the 12. --2001:A61:213C:4E01:BDE2:4DAE:E6BE:24D7 (talk) 20:06, 10 February 2016 (UTC) opinion of a Latin-rite Catholic judging by what he has read somewhere

start date
Since the Feast of the Nativity is celebrated on December 25 according to the Julian calendar, is it not the case that the Winter Lent would also be calculated according to the Julian calendar, occuring on (Gregorian) November 28?
 * I guess the Churches that use the Julian calendar do so, while the ones that use the new calendar don't.--2001:A61:213C:4E01:BDE2:4DAE:E6BE:24D7 (talk) 20:11, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Introduction
Just a note that the Revised Julian calendar is not, as stated in the introduction, exactly the same as the Gregorian Calendar. For the purposes of the Nativity Fast, and Nativity, they coincide, but they are not the same thing. 94.173.202.21 (talk) 09:41, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
