Weekdays of Christmas Time

About this day

The weekdays from January 2 until the Baptism of the Lord, before and after the Epiphany, which continue the celebration of the Lord's birth and manifestation. Their first readings come from the First Letter of Saint John, and memorials of the saints may be kept.
