Changes

Most commemorations that have an afterfeast also have a [[forefeast]].

The afterfeast begins on the day after the feast and concludes on the [[leavetaking]] of the feast. Accordingly, the period of the afterfeast varies from commemoration to commemoration.

[[Pascha]] and most [[First Class Feasts]] and [[Second Class Feasts]] have afterfeasts.

* [[Dormition]] ([[August 15]])—afterfeast: 8 days (leavetaking: [[August 23]])

* [[Forefeast]]

* [[Leavetaking]]
