[Researcher's Note: It's so interesting to me that we don't even commonly use the term heortology today, but the word comes from Greek meaning heorte, feast; logos, knowledge — feast knowledge. Another definition from the Catholic Encyclopedia is: "(From the Greek heorte, festival, and logos, knowledge, discourse). Heortology etymologically implies a relation to feasts or festivals in general, an exposition of their meaning. The word, however, is used to denote specifically the science of sacred festivals, embracing the principles of their origin, significance, and historical development, with reference to epochs or incidents in the Christian year."  Jan Boyd Neal]
