General Roman Calendar
The saints celebrated in one country
are not necessarily celebrated everywhere. The General Roman Calendar contains
only those celebrations that are intended to be observed throughout the world,
in application of the decision of the Second Vatican Council: "Lest the
feasts of the saints should take precedence over the feasts which commemorate
the very mysteries of salvation, many of them should be left to be celebrated
by a particular Church or nation or family of religious; only those should be
extended to the universal Church which commemorate saints who are truly of
universal importance. "Sacrosanctum Concilium, 111."
Variations from the following list of celebrations should
be indicated not here but, below,
