Коммеморация в католической литургии: возпоминание праздников внутри других праздников.

Recital of one celebration within another in Catholic liturgy
In the Latin liturgical rites of the Catholic Church, a commemoration is the recital, within the Liturgy of the Hours or the Mass of one celebration, of part of another celebration that is generally of lower rank and impeded because of a coincidence of date.

The parts commemorated are readings, antiphons, and prayers. In the Liturgy of the Hours, all three are or have been used: a reading of the commemorated celebration in Matins (Office of Readings); the antiphons of the Benedictus in Lauds and of the Magnificat in Vespers; and the proper prayer of the celebration being commemorated, the same as the collect of its Mass. In Mass, the prayers used are the collect, the prayer over the offerings and the prayer after Communion. Furthermore, before the decree Cum nostra hac aetate of 1955, in the Liturgy of the Hours the verse of the short responsory in Prime and the doxology of hymns of a commemorated feast that had special ("proper") forms of these were used, as in Mass were the commemorated feast's preface, if "proper", and the Credo, if the commemorated feast required its recitation.

Originally there were no commemorations in Mass. The older sacramentaries have only one collect. Even when, in the ninth century, priests began elsewhere to say more than one collect, only one was used in Rome. However, even in Rome the number of collects gradually increased.

Pope Pius V promulgated official editions of the Roman Breviary in 1568 and the Roman Missal in 1570 pursuant to the request of the Council of Trent. These admitted of several commemorations on the same day. Thus, on 29 December the liturgy celebrated was that of Saint Thomas Becket with commemorations of the Octaves of Christmas, Saint Stephen, Saint John the Apostle, and the Holy Innocents. (See Tridentine calendar.) Complicated rules governed such commemorations. The section De Commemorationibus in the Rubricae generales Missalis in later editions of the Missal of Pope Pius V begins by stating that "Commemorations occur at Mass as in the Office. A Double or Semidouble Feast commemorated as a Simple in the Office is commemorated also at Mass, including Solemn Mass on Class II Double Feasts, but excluding Palm Sunday and the Vigil of Pentecost. A Simple Feast is commemorated at Mass, if in the Office it was commemorated in First Vespers; but if it was commemorated only at Lauds, it is not commemorated at a Solemn Mass but only in private Masses. Exceptions again are Palm Sunday and the Vigil of Pentecost, at which no commemoration is made even at private Masses of an occurring Simple Feast, even if it was commemorated in the Office. A commemoration is made of a Sunday on which a Double Feast is celebrated. An Octave is commemorated on a Feast celebrated within it, unless the Feast in question is one of those excepted in the Rubric on Commemorations in the Breviary. So too when a Sunday is celebrated within an Octave." This was the first of eight subsections of the rubric of the Roman Missal regarding commemorations. A multiplicity of prayers had become so normal that even in Masses without any commemoration other prayers were added. The complicated rules in their regard were given in the seventeen subsections of the section De Orationibus of the Rubricae generales Missalis. This practice was abolished in 1955 under Pope Pius XII. Pope Pius X amended both De Commemorationibus and De Orationibus in 1910, as indicated in his Additiones et Variationes in Rubricis Missalis. The conclusion "Per Dominum nostrum " ("Through our Lord ") or its variants were added only to the first and final prayers.

By the decree Cum nostra hac aetate (De rubricis ad simpliciorem formam redigendis) of 23 March 1955 Pope Pius XII reduced the feasts previously of Simple rank to commemorations in the Office and Mass of the feast day or feria on which they occurred. He considerably simplified the practice of commemorations. The relevant rules were made uniform for both Mass and the Liturgy of the Hours. The basis for some of the previous distinctions was removed by decreeing that feasts, except those of the first and second classes, would no longer, in line with the tradition of Jewish origin that counts sunset as the start of a new day, begin with First Vespers. Commemoration was always to be made of Sundays, First Class Feasts, Ferias of Advent and Lent, the September Ember Days, and the Major Litanies. Other commemorations were admitted on condition that the number of prayers should never exceed three. The verse of the short responsory in Prime and the doxology of hymns of a commemorated feast that had special ("proper") forms of these were no longer to be used in the Liturgy of the Hours, nor were the preface (if "proper") of the commemorated feast and the Credo, if the commemorated feast had a right to it, to be used in Mass. Five years later, the Code of Rubrics, which was composed by the same commission that had prepared the decree Cum nostra hac aetate, added little. It distinguished between privileged commemorations, i. e. those that in Cum nostra hac aetate were always to be made, with the addition of days within the Octave of Christmas, and ordinary commemorations. Privileged commemorations were to be made in Lauds and Vespers and all Masses, ordinary commemorations only in Lauds and conventual and low Masses. It also limited ordinarily to First Class Feasts the celebration of First Vespers.
