2. Sundays 

All Sundays of the year are feasts of our Lord Jesus Christ.  In 
addition to the dated days listed above, only the following feasts, 
appointed on fixed days, take precedence of a Sunday: 

The Holy Name 

The Presentation 

The Transfiguration 

The feast of the Dedication of a Church, and the feast of its patron or 
title, may be observed on, or be transferred to, a Sunday, except in the 
seasons of Advent, Lent, and Easter. 

All other Feasts of our Lord, and all other Major Feasts appointed on 
fixed days in the Calendar, when they occur on a Sunday, are normally 
transferred to the first convenient open day within the week.  When 
desired, however, the Collect, Preface, and one or more of the Lessons 
appointed for the Feast may be substituted for those of the Sunday, but 
not from the Last Sunday after Pentecost through the First Sunday after 
the Epiphany, or from the Last Sunday after the Epiphany through
Trinity Sunday. 

With the express permission of the bishop, and for urgent and sufficient 
reason, some other special occasion may be observed on a Sunday.
