When a lesser feast falls on a Sunday, why does the site still list the Revised Common Lectionary readings instead of the readings for that feast day?
In some denominations, if a lesser feast falls on a Sunday, the traditional readings for that day are used instead of the Revised Common Lectionary readings. Since the purpose of this site is to provide an ecumenical resource on the Revised Common Lectionary, only readings and feast days provided by the RCL are used here.
