Daily Office Lectionary

For Days between 4 Advent and 1 Epiphany

The Daily Office Lectionary follows a pattern of readings for each day of the week following a Sunday in a particular time of the Church Calendar. The only exception is for the days between 4 Advent and 1 Epiphany, as the holidays during this time are moveable (meaning they fall on a specific day, and not necessarily on a Sunday).

To find the readings for the days between 4 Advent and 1 Epiphany, select the days that fall between the moveable holidays and the Sunday markers of 4 Advent and 1 Epiphany. For example, if Christmas is on a Wednesday, the readings would include all readings in 4 Advent until Tuesday, when you would select December 24 for the morning and Christmas Eve for the evening. Then for the days between Christmas and the First Sunday after Christmas - and occasionally between the Second Sunday after Christmas - you select the readings based on the dated days below. Christmas, the 1st and 2nd Sunday after Christmas, Holy Name, and Epiphany are found for you on the references page.

Days that are missing from these table (12-26, 12-27, 12-28) are often filled in with the Holy Day Readings.
