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.
The Saint Lawrence Press is dedicated to the preservation of the classical Roman Liturgy and seeks especially to raise awareness of the process of liturgical reform before the Second Vatican Council. To meet these aims the Saint Lawrence Press publishes an Ordo Recitandi, in Latin, modelled on those produced in Rome in the middle of the last century before the unpleasant,
unfortunate, and damaging, changes of the 1950's and early 1960's.
The Ordo Recitandi contains the necessary information enabling those who wish to celebrate the traditional Divine Office and Mass to identify those variable parts for every day in the Liturgical year.
To order a copy of the Ordo Recitandi please visit our homepage by following the link below.

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.
