 SUNDAY and HOLY DAY
LECTIONARY
Year B ~ 2023–2024

General Instructions
The public reading of Scripture in the liturgies of the Church is among the most important features of
any act of worship. No one should be admitted to this high privilege who has not thoroughly prepared
the passage to be read, so that the lesson can be read with clarity, authority and understanding.

This lectionary provides a three-year cycle of four readings for each Sunday of the Christian Year. Year
A begins with Advent Sunday in those years evenly divisible by 3. Thus, Advent 2022 begins a new
cycle with Year A (Advent 2023 begins Year B). Multiple sets of lessons are assigned for Christmas
Day, Easter Day and All Saints’ Day. Also included are single sets of readings for all other Prayer Book
Principal Feasts and Holy Days (Red-Letter Days), including Ash Wednesday and the days of Holy
Week and Easter Week. Lessons for Ember Days, Rogation Days, and National Days are appointed as
well.

Readings from the Apocrypha are in italics. It is appropriate to conclude readings from the Apocrypha
with “Here ends the Reading.”

The number of readings on any Sunday or Holy Day may be lessened according to pastoral
circumstance, provided the gospel is always read at the Eucharist. The English Standard Version of the
Scriptures is the normative text; however, the Psalms should be read or sung in a version intended for
that purpose. The Bishop of the Diocese is to be consulted where a regular pattern of fewer than four
lessons is adopted as the Sunday customary of a Congregation, or when a pattern of alternate readings
or a “sermon series” is proposed. The Rector of a congregation may direct that an appointed lesson be
shortened or lengthened, provided the plain sense is retained.

Feasts of Dedication, special observances customary in the local setting, or days of national or
provincial mourning or celebration may employ lessons other than those regularly established for a
given Sunday. (The Black-Letter Days and Lesser Commemorations are not included in this version of
the calendar. See the note at the end for an electronic version that includes them.)

Principal Feasts and “Red Letter” Holy Days are in Bold Type. Weekdays are shaded.
A date in pale blue indicates an optional Sunday observance.
The colour for any given Sunday may vary according to local custom.
