Octave (liturgical)
"Octave" has two senses in Christian liturgical usage. In the first sense, it is the eighth day after a feast, reckoning inclusively, and so always falls on the same day of the week as the feast itself. The word is derived from Latin ''octava'' (eighth), with ''dies'' (day) understood. In the second sense, the term is applied to the whole period of these eight days, during which certain major feasts came to be observed.Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church (Oxford University Press 2005 ), article ''Octave'' Octaves, not being successive, are quite distinct from eight-day weeks and simply refer to the return of the same day of a seven-day week in the inclusive counting system used in Latin (just as the ninth day was a return to the same day of a nundinal cycle, the eight-day week of the pre-Christian Roman calendar). Early history The "eighth day" or ''octava dies'' was associated with the weekly Christian celebration of the resurrection of Christ every "eighth day", which b ...

Shemini Atzeret
Shemini Atzeret (—"Eighth [day of] Assembly") is a Jewish holidays, Jewish holiday. It is celebrated on the 22nd day of the Hebrew calendar, Hebrew month of Tishrei in the Land of Israel, and on the 22nd and 23rd outside the Land, usually coinciding with late September or early October. It directly follows the Jewish festival of Sukkot which is celebrated for ''seven'' days, and thus Shemini Atzeret is literally the ''eighth'' day. It is a separate—yet connected—holy day devoted to the spiritual aspects of the festival of Sukkot. Part of its duality as a holy day is that it is simultaneously considered to be both connected to Sukkot and also a separate festival in its own right. Outside the Land of Israel, this is further complicated by the Yom tov sheni shel galuyot, additional day added to all Biblical holidays except Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.Talmud, ''Beitza'' 4b. The first day of Shemini Atzeret therefore coincides with the eighth day of Sukkot outside the Land of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
