Tempus liturgicum
Easter Time 2039 Ireland
From Sunday, 10 April 2039 to Sunday, 29 May 2039. The Sunday readings are from Year B, the weekdays from Year I (why).
Easter Time is the fifty days from Easter Sunday to Pentecost, kept as a single feast, in white, with red at Pentecost. Its first eight days are the octave of Easter. The Ascension falls on the fortieth day, a Thursday, or on the following Sunday where the bishops have moved it.
In the 1962 Missal the Sundays are counted after Easter, the Rogation days fall before the Ascension, and Pentecost has its own octave, with Ember days.
