Our Lady of the Snow[s]
"In the Sarum calendar, a Simple feast with double Invitatory - but it only
occurs in a few late calendars, with the Office only in a few late
Breviaries, and no Mass."
I doubt it was the Province of Canterbury, as Hereford doesn't have the
feast, although memos tended not to get there (a running joke...)
I'd feel inclined to blame Cardinal Campeggio...
