Additional Help with a Church Date--

Legg inn av Sonia Meyer » 15 mar 2005 09:41:14

I've downloaded and have been using the sites suggested for determining
birthdays and christening dates given by Church Calendar dates, as many are
in "Hitterdals Boken". I'm having difficulty with the following:

dopt. 4. S. e. H. 3 Kings. 1770

Is this
The fourth Sunday after --(I don't know what H. 3 K. would be-- Is it Holy
Three Kings?)
I'm guessing, but could it be three Sundays after January 6th (Epiphany -
when the 3 Holy Kings visited Jesus)?

Thanks in advance for your kind assistance.

Yes, you're right on target. It's the 4th Sunday after Epiphany aka
"Holy Three Kings" aka January 6th. In the Danish-Norwegian church
calendar, this was the usual way to count Sundays between New year and
the Fast.

Thanks in advance for your kind assistance.

You're welcome :-)
