Whitsuntide

The Rubrics for Whitsuntide

Within the Octave
From Compline on the Vigil of Pentecost until None before Trinity Sunday, all Hymns of the ordinary meter, except those with an unchanging Ending, are terminated with the Whitsuntide Doxology, as in the Table of Common Forms.

Within the Octave, the Office is said as on Whitsun Day, except for what is assigned as proper to the respective day; and the Office is semidouble except for the Whitsun Triduum of Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, which are I Class Doubles; and the Office ends with None on Saturday.

This Octave (like that of Easter) has the privilege of first rank, which permits the celebration therein of no occurring Feast whatsoever; and during the Triduum no occurring Feast may even be commemorated; but after the Triduum, any Feast lower than a II Class Double is commemorated, (without the historic Lesson at Matins, however,) and from Whitsun Day onwards any occurring I or II Class Doubles are transferred until the first day after Trinity Sunday which is not occupied by a I or II Class Double.

At the Hours, Psalms of Sunday with Prime I and Versicle : Qui sedet ad dexteram Patris.
