The Ascension is celebrated on the 40th day of Easter. This is counting from Easter itself as the first day of Easter. Thus, the holiday is celebrated on the 39th day after Easter, not the 40th day after like it currently gives. It should be on a Thursday, not a Friday. On a similar note, "Trinity" (assuming it refers to Trinity Sunday), should be on the Sunday after Pentecost, not some random Thursday right before it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Pull up any calendar region with the Ascension and Trinity included. I'm getting this problem in the United States calendar. 2. Go to May 2013. Actual Results: Ascension is on May 10th, Trinity is on May 16th. Expected Results: Ascension should be on May 9th, Trinity should be on May 26th
Ascension ========= looking through all the holidays files, I see some have Ascension as 39 days after Easter, some as 40 days after Easter and some as 42 days after Easter. The holidays files for the US, Namibia and Portugal have the 40 days after Easter. The holidays files for San Marino, New Zealand and Italy have the 42 days after Easter. Wikipedia's entry for Ascension http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feast_of_the_Ascension would indicate that those 6 holidays files need to be fixed for Ascension. Trinity Sunday =========== Wikipedia says that Trinity Sunday is 8 weeks after Easter Sunday. Meaning 56 days after Easter. However, the following holiday files say 46 days after Easter: Guatemala, Iceland, Portugal, Ukraine, US

Please note that the bulk correction could introduce other issues. In Italy for example Ascension has been moved to the next Sunday (so 42 days is actually correct).
The same for other countries: the English page of Wikipedia says: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feast_of_the_Ascension#Sunday_observance The Italian one also mentions Spain and Portugal: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascensione_di_Ges%C3%B9#Data_della_celebrazione I suggest to revert this commit and investigate more.
The Ascension is traditionally on the Thursday. It's only some parts of the world (such as Canada, England, Wales, and most of the US) that move it to Sunday. But if we have to pick a single day to put it on for a calendar, I would pick the traditional date of 39 days after Easter. This is actually the page you want for figuring out when it is for a particular country (at least to Roman Catholics). If the Ascension is listed under a country's heading, it's on Thursday (39 days). Otherwise, it gets moved to the 7th Sunday of Easter (42 days). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_day_of_obligation On Sat, Jun 21, 2014 at 7:48 AM, Luigi Toscano <luigi.toscano@tiscali.it> wrote: > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=329285 > > --- Comment #4 from Luigi Toscano <luigi.toscano@tiscali.it> --- > The same for other countries: the English page of Wikipedia says: > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feast_of_the_Ascension#Sunday_observance > > The Italian one also mentions Spain and Portugal: > > http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascensione_di_Ges%C3%B9#Data_della_celebrazione > > I suggest to revert this commit and investigate more. > > -- > You are receiving this mail because: > You reported the bug. >
Particularly because I've only ever heard of Catholics moving it, not any Protestant denominations.

Or maybe three for Orthodox church.
I mean if it's in the holiday files, we need a single day to put it on. And the most universally accepted date for the Ascension is the Thursday. But at any rate, it's a somewhat pointless discussion, since all the holiday files are getting reorganized anyway.

So should I simply revert it to the previous date? Maybe yes. Or maybe it's better to keep the two relevant dates in the file. For sure keeping only the current date is not correct in the Italian context, and maybe in other countries too, but that's not my business it seems. > But at any rate, it's a somewhat pointless discussion, since all the > holiday files are getting reorganized anyway. It's not pointless because I spotted this "bug" when updating the Italian holiday file after the reorganization. I agree that this bug is not the proper place to discuss it. We can move the discussion to the kdepim list.
