The liturgical calendar

Feasts, vigils and fasts that set the rhythm of the year — and say when attacking is lawful and when it is not.

The year in Cross is governed by liturgical cycles established by the Curia after the Intervention of the Archangels in 1786. Before the Cataclysm the calendar inherited the tradition of the old Church; after 1786 it was reformed and expanded, with new feasts, vigils and fasts tied to the events of the Cataclysm.

Every kingdom and republic adapts it with a national feast of its own, layered over the universal ones.

"The year turns seven times around the Sun before each wax melts once. But the Perpetual Vigil turns seven times in every hour." — Ordo Liturgicus, preface
