[Untitled][edit]
I recommend re-naming this article the "Solemnity of the Annunciation" because it is not a "feast" in sensu stricto, but a higher grade of liturgical celebration, the highest in fact. Prestinius (talk) 15:37, 27 January 2015 (UTC)Prestinius
- Yes, but most lay people don't call it that. "Solemnity" is mentioned in the first sentence. Mannanan51 (talk) 22:44, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
What about the Greco-Russian Church?[edit]
Sketches of the Rites and Customs of the Greco-Russian Church, by H. C. Romanoff, Russia, 1868
page 66 - On the Feast of the Annunciation the christening was to come off.
The godfather provides a gold cross (we are speaking of a noble's family...) about an inch and a half in length, to hang round the child's neck, if a boy by a blue ribbon, if a girl a pink one. He also pays the Priest's fee.
page 236 - A little boy's wrapper is bound round the waist and confined at the wrists by blue ribbons; and an amber, wooden, or stone cross--no matter, so that it not be silver or gold--is hung round his neck by a blue ribbon. A little girl's dress is the same, but with pink ribbons. http://books.google.com/books?id=Sy3uzijEn_IC&pg=PA66 Zyxwv99 (talk) 22:10, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
