LITANIES FOR THE MONTH OF JULY
Easter Sunday has a variable date―being celebrated on the Sunday following the Paschal Full Moon―and therefore being celebrated as early as March 22nd or as late as April 25th. Consequently, the following feasts―which depend upon when Easter Sunday falls in any particular year―also have variable dates for the feast, these are: Holy Thursday being the 3rd day before Easter; Good Friday being the 2nd day before Easter; Holy Thursday being one day before Easter; Ascension Thursday being the 40th day after Easter; Pentecost Sunday being the 50th day after Easter; Trinity Sunday being the 57th day after Easter; Corpus Christi being the 61st day after Easter and the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus being the 69th day after Easter. As a result of this, the litanies in honor of these feast days are likely to span a period of either two or three months. This is shown below:
