medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Dear medieval-religion colleagues, What is the liturgical logic for having feasts between Thomas the Apostle (21 December) and Wulfstan (20 January) use only generic common readings for, e.g., confessors or virgins, rather than specific ones? I can grasp why there might not be specific readings in the days immediately preceding and following a major feast like Christmas, or a major quadragesima like the Easter Lent, but this period seems odd to me. Thanks for helping me to understand this.
