A comparison of the above sixteenth canon, however, shows that Saturday was a special exception.\nTo the Saturdays and Sundays mentioned by Hefele must be added the feast of the Annunciation, which is always solemnized with a full celebration of the Liturgy, even when it falls upon Good Friday.","title":"Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Ser.
