Feasts and Festivals

Over the centuries the Christian Church has set aside specific days to remember persons and events that were significant in the proclamation of the Gospel. The following is a listing of feasts and festivals according to the calendar in Lutheran Service Book.  Learn more about the distinction being made between “festivals” and “commemorations.”

Readings and other propers for the feasts and festivals have been assigned. For each day there is an introit, collect, gradual, verse, and hymn suggestions. These can be found in the LSB Altar Book as well as the Hymn Selection Guide.

The hymn “By All Your Saints in Warfare” provides us with another opportunity to learn about those who have gone before us and pointed to Christ. A selection of those hymn verses and prayers for the day are available here.
