double feast
double feast n. the designation given to the most important class of feasts in the Roman Catholic church, on which the antiphons are recited in full before and after the psalms and canticles. [Compare post-classical Latin festum duplex (frequently from 13th cent. in British sources; also in continental sources), Anglo-Norman duble feste, Middle French feste double (13th cent.; French fête double), and also post-classical Latin duplex festivitas (late 11th cent. in a British source).
The origin of the name is uncertain. The most plausible explanation is that the double feast was so called on account of the fact that on great feasts of this rank, which can fall on a weekday, cathedral canons in the Middle Ages celebrated a double nocturnal office (Matins), with both the festal and ferial parts of the office being recited (see L. Eisenhofer & J. Lechner Liturgy of Roman Rite (1961) 240). Although the doubling of Matins subsequently fell out of use, the name persisted. Alternatively it has been suggested that the name of this class of feasts refers to the fact that in the Divine Office the antiphons were sung in their entirety both before and after the psalms of the Office, except at the Little Hours, whereas on semi-double feasts the antiphons were merely intoned, and on simple feasts the antiphons were recited at the end of the psalms to which they are attached.
In the liturgical reform of 1970 the designations ‘simple’, ‘semi-double’, and ‘double feast’ were officially replaced by ‘memorial’, ‘feast’, and ‘solemnity’.]
