In the Sarum calendar, a Simple feast with double Invitatory, and three
lessons at Matins if in Eastertide - which by my calculation it is. But
surely it would *always* be in Eastertide?
BUT it is also Thursday in Whit Week, in the Sarum calendar a Feria in an
Octave with rulers, and thus treated as a Simple feast with rulers. If
there were any logic it would be with a triple Invitatory, but logic doesn't
seem to come into it...
Memorial of St Potentiana. Whether she has anything to do with the
following two mythical beasts, I leave others to judge.
