Vigil and Octave of the Nativity

Are relics allowed on the altar on the feast of the Holy Innocents? It seems strange that there would be violet vestments and relics, but then again it is a feast day. Something of an anomaly I suppose.

Very happy Christmas to you!

@Peter,

I cannot see why not. I would have thought being within Octaves some degree of solemnity in order and the feast is a double of the second class.

Sunday compline for Friday is correct?

@André,

No, well spotted. Peculiarly the higher ranking feast has the ferial psalms.
