Pentecost is only one of three Octaves that remain on the 1962 Calendar. The other two are Christmas and Easter. Pentecost has a Privileged Octave of the 1st Order. This means that nothing can outrank it. Each day has its own set of reading too. The Sequence Veni Creator Spiritus is sung every day and the Special Communicantes is said in the Canon. For a week, every day is Pentecost; this is an amazing preparation for Trinity Sunday which is the Octave Day of Pentecost!
