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.
