Noveritis (original) (raw)

The Noveritis, also variously known as the Announcement of Easter and the Moveable Feasts (in the post-1970 Roman Missal) or the Epiphany proclamation, is a liturgical chant sung on the Feast of Epiphany that contains a summary of liturgical dates of moveable feasts in the year ahead. Noveritis comes from the incipit of the chant. It is sung to the same tune as the Exsultet. The practice is found principally in the Roman Catholic Church, but is also observed in some parishes of other Western rite denominations, including the Anglican Communion and Lutheran churches.
