Huh?<br /><br />1 June as his feast is of great antiquity, going back at least to the 800s -- in the East. In 1882 Pope Leo XIII ordered a Mass and Office written for his feast to be celebrated on 14 April. Which often falls during the Easter season. So Vatican II changed it to match the age old Eastern observance, not something of its own invention.Terry Maherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122266461403246084noreply@blogger.com
