Chapter 15  

Calendar Suggestions 

Read This Twice 

    This chapter contains suggestions for changes to the liturgical calendar of the Church. These suggested 

changes are based on my understanding of the true dates of important events in the lives of Jesus and Mary. I 

myself currently ignore this suggested calendar. I follow the current liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church. 

I am not asking anyone to follow this suggested calendar instead of the Church's calendar. If anyone thinks 

that I have correctly understood the true dates of events in the life of Christ, let them nevertheless follow the 

Church's calendar, not this suggested calendar, until such time, if any, that the Church adopts some of these 

suggestions. 

    I expect that the Church will eventually put some of these changes into effect in the liturgical calendar. I do 

not expect all of these suggestions to be adopted by the Church. I will follow the liturgical calendar of the 

Catholic Church in any case. I believe that the teaching of the Holy Catholic Church is God's teaching, 

without exception. 

Should the Liturgical Calendar Be Changed? 

    The Christian liturgical calendar should be ordered according to Christ's life. The liturgical calendar is not 

merely a method of keeping track of time, it is a reflection of our participation in the life of Christ. As we 

follow the holy days of the liturgical calendar, we are following and becoming a part of events in the life of 

Jesus, our Savior. In this chapter, I make suggestions for changes in the liturgical and civil calendars, so as to 

bring the calendar in closer conformity to the life of Christ. 

    This chapter is meant to be read by all Christians, not only by those leaders who might have some influence 

over the liturgical calendar. The liturgical calendar is a part of the life and worship of all Christians, and so any 

changes to the calendar must both conform to the will of God and be understood by the ordinary Christian. 

May the members of the Church consider the liturgical calendar and its relationship to the lives of Jesus and 

Mary. 

    The current liturgical calendar places the celebration of events in the lives of Jesus and Mary, in many cases, 

on days other than the days when these events occurred. This book presents a comprehensive set of evidence 

for the true dates of these events. The liturgical calendar should be changed so that the date for each 

celebration matches the true date, as much as possible. The liturgical calendar must be based on the truth 

because we worship Jesus Christ, Who is Truth.  

    Change is difficult for stubborn and sinful human beings such as ourselves. We say,  The old wine is good.  

People don't like to change. We often resist change, even when changing is the right thing to do. In this case, 

the difficult path is the correct path to follow, so follow it we must. Yes, I know that some people will oppose 

changing the liturgical calendar. But Truth is First. The liturgical calendar must change to conform to the true 

dates and to the will of God. 

Will the Liturgical Calendar Be Changed? 

    For those readers who believe, I offer this proof that the liturgical calendar will certainly be changed to 

conform more closely to the true dates of events in the lives of Jesus and Mary. At Medjugorje, the Virgin 

Mary revealed that the true date of her birth is August 5 (see chapter 9 for details). She asked Christians to 

celebrate her birthday on August 5, with three days of fasting. At Medjugorje, the Virgin Mary's birthday is 

celebrated on August 5 and many pilgrims to Medjugorje also accept this as the true date of Mary's birth. 

    The Virgin Mary is asking the people of Medjugorje, and Christians all over the world, to celebrate her 

birthday on August 5. Yet the Church celebrates the birth of the Virgin Mary on September 8.  The Virgin 

Mary is not opposing or contradicting the Church. The Virgin Mary is leading the Church and the faithful
