Feast of the Annunciation

[Mary of Bethany]

I've posted a question in OBOB & STR about what they will do this year, since the Feast of the Annunciation falls on Good Friday in the west. I haven't gotten a response in STR, but apparently they just transfer the Feast til after the Octave in the RCC.

I've heard that on the Old Calendar, Pascha & Annunciation can occur on the same day and in that case, both are observed. What would we do if Annunciation fell on Good Friday?

Thanks.

Mary

It happened a few years ago. Both are observed, but it gets complicated - I do not have the details.

I can imagine, I know a little while ago one of the Feasts landed on a Sunday, so we prostrated on that day (and it was not Pentecost's kneeling prayers)
