Now from reading our blog, you probably think that Rachel and I just talk about things like fluffy feet and Gilmore Girls, but a conversation last night got me a bit confused. Maybe y’all can help me. We were talking about when our wedding is in the church calendar. Rachel was looking online at the calendar and my original, but the calendar online didn’t go with my later reflection of the Sundays after Easter or the one book on the church calendar that I had at home (Edward Horn’s work).
After further reflection I started thinking that the Sundays go like this:
Easter Sunday
1st Sunday after Easter=Quasimodo Geniti=Low Sunday=White Sunday
2nd Sunday after Easter=Miseri Cordia=Shepherd Sunday
3rd Sunday after Easter=Jubilate
4th Sunday after Easter=Cantate
5th Sunday after Easter=Rogate
6th Sunday after Easter=Exaudi
The online calendars Rachel was looking at has Low Sunday/White Sunday as the second Sunday after Easter, skipping Shepherd Sunday altogether. Now if my memory is correct, we’ll be getting married the Saturday of the week of Cantate. If the online calendars and my original thought are correct, we’ll be married the Saturday of the week of Rogate. This would affect the liturgy quite a bit, and as we’re trying to finish the liturgy, this is important. Can anyone explain the discrepancy?
Am I smoking?

A bit of searching. According to this site, Rogate Sunday is May 16th: http://www.bach-cantatas.com/Lutheran.htm
