Titel: """"Die Solemnis Precum"""" - Calendar date?
Skrivet av: Bo Johansson skrivet 2012-02-20, 14:53
Translated from Swedish wikipedia:
In 1676 it was decided that the big böndagar (prayer days) would be four in number. They were celebrated then on Fridays, but from 1773 on Saturdays. For a time they switched between Saturdays and Sundays, and were after 1807 only held on Sundays.
Dates for the prayer days were set for one-year terms by the so-called böndagsplakatet (prayer day proclamation). During the period 1676-1807 the prayer days were distributed as follows: - 1st prayer day occurred usually in March or April, but sometimes in May - 2nd prayer day occurred usually in May or June, but sometimes in April - 3rd prayer day occurred usually in June or July, but sometimes in August - 4th prayer day occurred usually in August, September or October, but sometimes in November.
The four prayer days were: 1. Botdagen (repentance day?) 2. Reformationsdagen (Reformation Day) 3. Missionsdagen (Mission Day) 4. Tacksägelsedagen (Thanksgiving Day)
Of these, only Thanksgiving still has its own Sunday in the national Swedish church calendar.
