Many times in the Swedish Church Records, a minister recorded the date of an event by the name of the Fixed or Moveable Feast Date which is based on the liturgical year (the church year) rather than the Julian or Gregorian date that we would recognize. To convert a Moveable Feast Day that you see in a record to a Julian or Gregorian date, choose the year that you are working in from the table below. See [[Scandinavia Feast Day Calendar#Fixed and Movable Feast Days|Scandinavia Feast Day Calendar]] for more information about Fixed and Movable Feast Days in the Nordic countries.
