In the year 1700, February 18 (Thursday after Sexagesimae Sunday) was followed immediately by March 1 (Monday before Reminiscere Sunday); Estomihi and Invocavit Sundays were skipped. In this Chronology, all dates through February 1700 are “old style” (Julian calendar); “new style” dates begin in March 1700, when Protestant Germany introduced the Gregorian calendar.

^a
Calendar dates for most feasts can vary, although their sequence remains constant. A few feasts, however, whose dates are fixed, can fall in different places in that sequence, depending on the year. For example, St. John's Day can fall as early as four days after Trinity Sunday or as late as three days following the 5th Sunday after Trinity.
