The Announcement of Easter and the Moveable Feasts (Epiphany Proclamation) • 2024

IN KEEPING WITH an ancient practice of the Holy Church, the moveable feasts of the coming year are announced on the Epiphany of the Lord. It is sung immediately following the Gospel (and before the homily). Music with specific dates for 2021 can be found on the following page. The original formula can be found in the Roman Missal, Appendix I: “Various Chants for the Order of Mass.”

The rubrics from the Roman Missal indicate: On the Epiphany of the Lord, after the singing of the Gospel, a Deacon or cantor, in keeping with an ancient practice of the Holy Church, announces from the ambo the movable feasts of the current year according to this formula:

This proclamation is a reminder of the centrality of the resurrection of the Lord in the liturgical year and the importance of the great mysteries of faith, which are celebrated each year. Although optional, it is a living tradition that connects the present day to our ancient roots in the Church.
