Day
The numbering of the Days, and the names of the weekdays are the same as in reality.
Holy Days
The following Holy Days are those referred to in the Church sins. This does not preclude other local Feast days existing but they do not have the same importance. These days are either fixed (F) or variable (V). Fixed Holy Days fall on the actual day indicated. Variable feast days fall on the first Sunday on or after the date indicated.
In order to acknowledge a Holy Day (and avoid sinning) the religious
follower should participate in a ritual of thanks (not a magical ritual)
held by the highest ranking religious person in the area. A small ceremony
must be conducted at the very least and the more elaborate the service
the better.
