Monthly Key:

Solemnity - a solemnity is any feast that is celebrated with as much liturgical observance and splendor as possible whether universally or locally.

Memorial - Religious commemorations, especially the Eucharistic Sacrifice. Unlike other memorials, however, the Mass is no ordinary commemoration. It does recall the mysteries of Christ's life and particularly his Crucifixion.

Feast - A special Day set apart for the liturgical commemoration of the Holy Trinity, of some event or mystery in the life of our Lord.
