New Year’s Eve is the seventh day of Christmas, which is St. Sylvester the First’s memorial day, on the liturgical calendar.

His day is December 31st, but according to this video with his story, it is also on January 2? No matter. Here is a brief version of his story.

December 30 is a sort of “all saints” day on the liturgical calendar. Many saints are associated with this day. I have chosen to commemorate Saint Anysia of Salonika, or Thessalonika.

December 29 honours the martyrdom of St. Thomas Becket.

I couldn’t find a video of the hymn associated with this day, which is Lo! on Zion’s Holy Mountain.

Instead, I offer this brief, informative video.
