In the calendar of the Roman Catholic and Anglican 
churches the Sundays of the year form two series one 
reckoned from Christmas, and one from Easter. The first 
series consists of four Sundays In Advent, one or two 
Sundays after Christmas, and the Sundays after Epiph- 
any, from one to six in number, according to the date of 
Septuagesima. The second series consists of the remain- 
ing Sundays of the year namely, Septuageslma. Sexages- 
ima, Quinquageslma, six Sundays In Lent, Easter Sunday, 
five Sundays after Easter, Sunday after Ascension, Pente- 
cost or WhlUunday, and the Sundays after Pentecost (the 
first of which is Trinity Sunday j, from twenty-three to 
twenty-eight in number, or the Sundays after Trinity 
(according to the usage of the Anglican Church), from 
twenty-two to twenty-seven In number, the last of these 
being always the Sunday next before Advent. On the 
Sundays after Pentecost or Trinity not provided with 
offices of their own are used the offices of the Sundays 
omitted after Epiphany. In the Greek Church the first 
Sunday of the ecclesiastical year is the Sunday of the 
Publican and Pharisee, which is that next before Septua- 
gesima. Then follow the Sundays of the Prodigal Son, of 
Apocreos, of Tyrophagus, the six Sundays of Lent, Easter, 
(called Pascha or Bright Sunday), the five Sundays after 
Easter (called of St. Thomas or Antipascha. of the Oint- 
ment-bearers, of the Paralytic, of the Samaritan Woman 
or Mid-Pentecost, of the Blind Man), the Sunday after 
Ascension (called of the Three Hundred and Evjhtcen 
Fathers of Nicaa\ Pentecost, and All Saints' Sunday, an 
and Pharisee Is again reached. They are mostly named 
after the evangelist from whom the gospel for the day Is 
taken. They are called Sundays of St. Matthew from 
Pentecost t i M the Exaltation of the Cross (September 14th), 
when two Sundays are called Sunday before and after the 
Exaltation respectively. After this follow the Sunday* 
of St. Luke. The Sundays corresponding to the third and 
fourth in Advent are the Sunday of the Holy Forefathers 
and the Sunday before Christmas, and the Sundays next 
preceding and succeeding the Epiphany are called Sun- 
day before and after the Lights. Some Sundays of St. 
Matthew, if omitted before the Exaltation, are transferred 
to the time after the Epiphany. The seventeenth or last 
Sunday of si . Matthew is called the Sunday of the Canaan- 
itish Woman.
