Welcome to the oremus almanac. This almanac provides
online support for the Common Worship calendar and
lectionary of the Church of England.
Currently there are three resources available:
-
The Easter date calculator which displays
the date of Easter in the year specified, together with the
dates of Easter-related observances, and the names and the
‘proper’ numbers of the Sundays in ‘ordinary
time’.
-
An annual almanac which provides a
downloadable calendar and lectionary worked out for a
particular year. This can be displayed as a web page (with the
bible references linking to the corresponding passage) or as a
file that can be loaded into various desktop calendars and
PDAs.
-
crosscal
which shows the times of sunrise and sunset, twilight,
moonrise and set, and the phases of the moon. Like the annual
almanac, the data can be displayed as a web page or downloaded
for use in a desktop calendar or PDA.
