" In the Anglican Missal, the Anglican Breviary, and in the Book Of Common Prayer (1662), St. Bede's feast day is May 27th. Prior to Vatican II, the Roman Communion observed it on May 27th as well, before they moved it to May 25th. From the Legenda for Bede, in the Anglican Breviary: "The Venerable Bede, who was already revered as a Doctor among the Benedictines, and in other religious Orders and places, was in 1899 formally declared to be a Doctor of the Church Universal." (The Second Council of Aix-la-Chapelle in 886 had deemed Bede to be The Admirable Doctor. Hurray, also, for "particular churches" and "local kalendars.") In the Kalendars of other churches and ecclesiastical bodies, in America the Episcopalians observe Bede's feast day, on May 25th.
