The calendar of saints of the

Episcopal Anglican Church of Brazil (Igreja Episcopal Anglicana do Brasil, IEAB) follows the tradition of The Episcopal Church (TEC), of which it was a missionary district until 1965.[1]

History

The most recent edition of the calendar, elaborated by IEAB's Liturgical Commission for the liturgical year which has started on Advent Sunday (30 November 2014), tried to balance the number of male and female figures.[2] In its 2021 edition, it began addressing God as "God Father and Mother".[3]

Characteristics

There is no single, unified calendar for the various provinces of the Anglican Communion; each makes its own calendar suitable for its local situation. As a result, the IEAB calendar contains some important figures in the

Dulce Pontes.[2]

The holy days are divided in principal feasts, festivals and lesser festivals. To settle any doubts regarding the sanctity of post-Reformed, uncanonized figures, all of them are commemorated in lesser Festivals, whose celebration is optional.[2]
