St Charles and St John

[Miscellaneous | Link | Print]

"When the Church and Monarchy were restored on 19 May, 1660, Canterbury and York, being the two primacies of the Church of England, assembled their convocations and canonized King Charles, adding his name to the ecclesiastical calendar in the Book of Common Prayer. In the time of Queen Victoria this was however removed upon request by elected representatives of the Commons; now, 30 January is only listed as a 'Lesser Festival.'" Through the efforts of the Society of King Charles the Martyr, the Feast of King Charles (January 30) was restored to the Prayer Book's calender of feasts.

May 26 commemorates the work of John Calvin.
