The feast of its Title is the Divine Person, Mystery or Saint in whose honour the church was built and honoured in the church's dedication ceremony or solemn blessing. (A church which is solemnly blessed has a feast of Title but not of Dedication). The Patron is of the place e.g. diocese (as in the example of the Suffrages in Ttony's post), country, city, town etc.<br /><br />All three feasts were observed with Octaves in the good old days.Rubricariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05050302650867319277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37512247.post-82131054645525252862017-02-14T21:11:59.924+00:002017-02-14T21:11:59.924+00:00Thank you very much indeed.
